Decontamination第 25 / 100 题
A technician finishes cleaning and is about to walk into the clean assembly area. What must occur?
a.Remove all personal protective equipment in the decontamination area, dispose of or store it properly, and perform hand hygiene before entering
b.Keep the gown on but remove gloves, since the gown protects the clean area
c.Walk through quickly while holding the door with an elbow to avoid touching surfaces
d.Change gloves only, because the rest of the attire has not touched instruments
解析
Protective attire worn in decontamination is considered contaminated and must be removed before leaving the area, followed by hand hygiene, so contamination is not carried into the clean workroom. A worn gown is a contaminated item, not a barrier that protects clean space. Speed and elbow technique do not remove contamination from attire or hands.
