You are about to empty a bedpan and expect splashing. Which PPE should you wear?
- A.A gown only, because the bedpan is below waist level
- B.No PPE, because bedpans are cleaned after every use
- C.A mask only, because odors are the main concern
- D.Gloves, and goggles or a face shield if splashing is likely
Correct answer
D. Gloves, and goggles or a face shield if splashing is likely
Why
Gloves protect hands from body fluids, and eye protection is added when splashes may reach the face. A gown or mask alone leaves hands and eyes exposed.
