Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The percussion hammer is used to test reflexes and is essential for this assessment. Sterile gloves are not necessary for a reflex assessment, and clean gloves are only necessary if the nurse will be touching the client. A penlight may be used for other assessments, but it is not needed specifically for reflex testing.
