Question

Which personal protective equipment (ppe) should the nurse don to enter the room of a client who is diagnosed with clostridium difficile?

Answer 1

The answer to this question would be gloves and gown.

Clostridium difficile is a microbe that can infect the gastrointestinal tract. The most common route for their infection is hand to mouth contact, therefore it is best to protect your hand. Don't use alcohol hand rub since it can kill them, wash your hand instead.
