Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nursing assistant's best action is to place the clean linens on a clean and dry table close to the client's bed, so the linens do not touch surfaces with increased pathogens, such as damp surfaces or the floor. The nursing assistant should collect needed linens in the order to be used and hold them 18 inches away from the uniform to prevent transferring pathogens. Washing the hands is needed before gathering linens from the linen cart, but clean gloves are not. Wearing gloves outside the client's room is against policy and regulations from various health care agencies. Linens should never be shaken because it spreads pathogens into the air.
