Safety & Infection ControlQuestion 63 of 200

A resident is in airborne + contact isolation for COVID-19. Required PPE for routine care includes:

a.Surgical mask and gloves only

b.Gown and gloves only

c.N95 respirator (fit-tested) or PAPR, eye protection (goggles or face shield), gown, and gloves

d.Standard precautions only

Explanation

Per updated CDC/CDPH SNF guidance, COVID-19 care requires N95 respirator (or PAPR) for staff entering the room because aerosol generation can occur, plus eye protection, gown, and gloves. Surgical mask (a) is insufficient; gown/gloves alone (b) miss airborne protection; standard precautions (d) are inadequate during active infection. Doff in order without contaminating self; perform hand hygiene multiple times.
