A patient with MASA is admitted in MICU, and the nurse has to provide colostomy care to the
patient. Which PPE should the nurse use?

Correct option is A

· Gloves, Gown, Mask: Gloves, gown, and mask are recommended to ensure complete protection during colostomy care. Gloves prevent direct contact with body fluids, the gown shields clothing from contamination, and the mask reduces the risk of respiratory exposure.
· Gloves only: Using only gloves is insufficient for infection prevention in MASA patients.
· Gloves and mask: Gloves and a mask alone do not protect the nurse's clothing, which may get contaminated.
· Gloves and shoe cover: Gloves and shoe covers are inadequate for upper body protection during care.
Additional Information:
· Patients with MASA require strict isolation and adherence to infection control protocols.
· All used PPE should be disposed of in designated biohazard bins to prevent the spread of infection.
