After completing the feeding task, what should you do with protective clothing?

• A. Remove protective clothing cover and tidy work area
• B. Leave protective clothing on
• C. Put it in resident's room
• D. Throw away on floor

Answer: (A)

Protective clothing is worn to prevent contaminating yourself and the environment. After finishing the feeding task, remove the protective clothing and tidy the work area to prevent the spread of germs and maintain a clean, safe space. Used items should go into the proper disposal container according to facility policy, and hands should be washed afterward. Leaving clothing on, placing it in the resident’s room, or discarding it on the floor risks contamination and safety hazards. Removing and cleaning up minimizes risk and supports infection control.
