A nurse is caring for a client who is HIV positive and is one day postoperative following an appendectomy. The nurse should wear a gown as personal protective equipment when taking which of the following actions?

A. Administering an IV bolus medication does not typically require gowning unless there is a risk of exposure to bodily fluids. B. Talking to the client does not necessitate wearing a gown, as it does not pose a risk of exposure. C. Administering an IM injection may require gloves but not necessarily a gown unless there is a risk of splashing. D. Completing a dressing change involves potential exposure to bodily fluids, so wearing a gown is appropriate for infection control.
