Which practice involves using gloves, gowns, masks, and eye protection to prevent transmission during patient care?
Correct Answer:
Personal Protective Equipment
Explanation:
The main concept here is personal protective equipment. The gloves, gowns, masks, and eye protection are the protective barriers used by healthcare workers to prevent exposure to infectious agents during patient care. Each item blocks a specific route of transmission: gloves guard hands, gowns protect skin and clothing, masks filter or block respiratory droplets, and eye protection shields the eyes. Together, they form PPE, which is applied as part of standard precautions and adapted to situations requiring transmission-based precautions. The other terms refer to broader practices or unrelated equipment, not the protective gear itself.
