1

Why is it important to perform the steps of closed gowning and gloving in the correct sequence?

It allows the procedure to be completed more quickly
Each step prepares for the next and helps the process proceed smoothly
It prevents the circulating nurse from assisting
It reduces the need for surgical hand antisepsis

2

Before applying the first glove, how should it be positioned?

The glove fingers should point toward the shoulders, with the palm facing the receiving hand
The glove fingers should point away from the body
The glove should be rotated after it is picked up
The orientation is unimportant provided the glove remains sterile

3

A glove twists repeatedly during application. What is the most likely cause?

The glove was too large
The gown sleeve was too short
The glove was not correctly aligned with the gown sleeve before application
The hands were dried incorrectly

4

Why should glove adjustments be kept to a minimum after both gloves have been applied?

Excessive adjustment is unnecessary when the gloves have been applied correctly and may interfere with efficient preparation
Gloves cannot be adjusted once they have been applied
Adjustments make the gloves more likely to tear immediately
Glove adjustment is only performed by the circulating nurse

5

A learner repeatedly picks up the wrong glove first during practice. Which strategy is most likely to prevent this problem?

Apply the gloves more quickly
Stretch the gloves before use
Identify and position the right and left gloves before beginning the procedure
