Safety and Infection ControlQuestion 1594 of 2368

A nurse has just put on an N95 respirator before entering a client's room. Which action is required each time the respirator is donned?

  1. Pinch the nosepiece with one hand
  2. Perform a user-seal check
  3. Pull the respirator down under the chin
  4. Tent the nosepiece away from the face
Show answer

Correct answer: Perform a user-seal check

A user-seal check lowers air leakage around the facepiece. The nosepiece should be fitted with both hands, not pinched with one.
