HESI Safety V2 Practice Test 2026 – Complete Exam Prep

MRSA spreads mainly by direct contact, so protecting both skin and clothing and cleaning hands after contact is essential. Wearing a gown and gloves before entering blocks the transfer of organisms to your hands, clothing, and the environment, and performing hand hygiene before donning and after doffing helps prevent self-contamination and spread. Removing PPE before leaving the room keeps contaminated materials contained, and hand hygiene after removal ensures you’re not carrying germs into other areas. The other options don’t provide full protection: gloves alone won’t shield clothing and surfaces, a gown alone won’t protect your hands, and a respirator isn’t needed because MRSA isn’t spread through the air.
