A nurse is performing a dressing change for a hospitalized client with an infected surgical incision. Which actions should the nurse take?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Clean gloves for removing soiled dressings prevent contamination, while sterile gloves for applying the new dressing maintain a sterile field. Full PPE is excessive for removal, and clean gloves for application risk infection.
