Practice Question

A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about wearing medical masks. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

“Discard your mask after each use.”

Rationale:

“Discard your mask after each use.” — This is correct because medical masks are single-use and should be disposed of after each patient encounter to prevent cross-contamination.

“Remove your mask prior to removing your gloves.” — This is incorrect; gloves should be removed first, then the mask, to reduce contamination risk.

“Position the mask on your face with the flexible metal piece at the bottom.” — This is incorrect; the metal strip should be at the top so it can be molded over the bridge of the nose for a proper fit.

“Touch the front of your mask while wearing it.” — This is incorrect because the front of the mask is contaminated; touching it increases infection risk.
