67. The practical nurse (PN) assigns an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) to bathe a client who is on contact precautions due to Clostridium difficile. To maintain contact precautions, the PN should instruct the UAP to perform the following actions in which sequence? Arrange from first action on top to last on the bottom.

A. Put on disposable gown: Wearing a gown before providing care creates a barrier between the caregiver’s clothing and potential contamination from the client or environment. B. Remove gloves and gown in room: PPE must be removed in the client’s room to prevent spreading C. difficile spores to other areas. Gloves are removed first, followed by the gown, to minimize contamination. C. Repeat standard hand washing: Hand hygiene is performed after all PPE is removed to eliminate any pathogens that may have contacted the hands during care, ensuring safety and compliance with infection control. D. Perform standard hand washing: Washing hands before putting on PPE removes transient microorganisms and reduces the risk of introducing pathogens to the client during care. E. Don a pair of procedure gloves: Gloves are applied after the gown to protect the hands during direct contact with the client or contaminated surfaces, completing the PPE setup before providing care.
