護理師照護一位感染艱難梭菌的病人,進入病房時應優先使用哪些防護裝備?
A nurse is caring for a client with Clostridioides difficile infection. Which personal protective equipment (PPE) should the nurse prioritize when entering the room?
- ASurgical mask and goggles外科口罩和護目鏡
- BGloves and gown✓ 正解手套和隔離衣
- CN95 respirator and face shieldN95 呼吸器和面罩
- DGloves and shoe covers手套和鞋套
艱難梭菌(C. difficile)會產生芽孢,對酒精性乾洗手液具有抗性,因此接觸隔離(Contact Precautions)是標準要求。進入病房時必須穿戴手套(gloves)與隔離衣(gown)以防直接接觸病人的排泄物或污染環境。離開病房後,必須使用「肥皂與清水」洗手,以物理方式去除芽孢,這在 NCLEX 考試中是極為關鍵的考點。
Clostridioides difficile produces spores that are resistant to alcohol-based hand sanitizers, so contact precautions are required. Upon entering the room, the nurse must wear gloves and a gown to prevent direct contact with the patient's stool or the contaminated environment. After leaving the room, soap and water must be used to mechanically remove the spores; this is a critical point that is frequently tested on the NCLEX.
