These should be used to work on computer information in the isolation room.

• A. Clean Gloves
• B. Gowns
• C. Eye protection
• D. N95 mask

Answer: (A)

Working in an isolation room with contact precautions centers on protecting your hands and preventing contamination of the patient environment. The computer and its peripherals can become contaminated, so wearing clean gloves creates a barrier between your hands and those surfaces, reducing the chance of transferring pathogens. After handling the computer, you’d remove the gloves and perform hand hygiene. Eye protection and an N95 are not routinely needed for this task unless there’s a splashing risk or an airborne infection; a gown is used for direct contact with the patient or heavily contaminated surfaces. For this scenario, clean gloves are the appropriate and sufficient choice.
