The nurse prepares to apply sterile gloves needed for a procedure. After introducing self and verifying patient information, the nurse performs hand hygiene. The nurse should open the outer package and then perform the following steps in order: (items on left will be moved in correct order on the right) Open inner package, taking care not to touch inner surface. Put the glove on the nondominant hand using the sterile gloved hand. Put glove on dominant hand by grasping folded cuff edge, touching only inside of cuff. Adjust each glove carefully by sliding finders under the cuffs. The above question represents which type of alternate-format question written at which level of Bloom's taxonomy?

The correct answer is A: Drag-and-drop item, comprehension. This question requires the nurse to demonstrate understanding of the correct sequence for applying sterile gloves. The drag-and-drop format assesses the ability to organize steps in a specific order, which falls under the comprehension level of Bloom's taxonomy, where the individual is required to understand the information provided. The other choices are incorrect because:
B: Chart/exhibit item, analysis - This choice involves interpreting data or information presented in a chart or exhibit, which is not the case in this question.
C: Multiple-response, application - This choice requires selecting multiple correct responses to a scenario, which is not the format of this question.
D: Hot-spot item, knowledge - This choice involves identifying a specific area or point on an image, which is not relevant to the question about the correct sequence for applying sterile gloves.
