Answer 1

Answer: :)

Explanation:n a healthcare setting, the staff wears Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), not the patients. The purpose of following contact-droplet isolation precautions are to contain the patient's environment and prevent the spread of infection. Since they have contact with multiple patients, medical professionals must wear proper PPE and perform proper hand hygiene when caring for every patient. Antimicrobial wipes can be utilized to clean exam rooms between patients. In order to limit potential for accidental exposure/puncture, Sharps containers should be replaced when 2/3 full.

He should have put gloves on
