A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a newly licensed nurse regarding the use of personal protective equipment when performing respiratory suctioning for a client who has community-acquired pneumonia. Which of the following statements by the newly licensed nurse indicates the need for further teaching?

A. "I should limit my conversation with the client while wearing my mask.": Limiting unnecessary talking reduces the risk of mask contamination and prevents droplets from escaping around the mask. This reflects safe practice when working close to the airway during suctioning. B. "After completing the suctioning, I should remove my gloves.": Gloves are removed first because they are the most contaminated item after suctioning. Taking them off immediately helps prevent cross-contamination and maintains correct PPE removal order. This shows appropriate understanding of PPE technique. C. "I will need to wear an N95 respiratory mask while suctioning the client.": An N95 mask is not required for community-acquired pneumonia because it is transmitted by droplets, not airborne particles. A surgical mask provides adequate protection for droplet precautions. This statement shows misunderstanding and indicates a need for further teaching. D. "I will pull the glove cuff over the wrist of the gown.": This technique prevents skin exposure and creates a proper seal between the glove and gown. It reduces the risk of contamination during suctioning procedures.
