A nurse on a medical-surgical unit is evaluating an assistive personnel's (AP) use of infection control precautions. Which of the following actions by the AP indicates correct use of the precautions?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
The correct answer is D because removing gloves before leaving the room of a client with MRSA prevents the spread of infection to other areas. This action follows standard infection control protocols. Choice A is incorrect as a surgical mask is not sufficient for tuberculosis precautions. Choice B is incorrect as alcohol-based hand sanitizer is not effective against C. difficile spores. Choice C is incorrect as bundling linen inward can contaminate the clean side.
