Which item is included in infection control PPE in EMS aside from gloves and mask?

• A. Boots
• B. Eye protection, gown, and adherence to protocol
• C. Wristwatch
• D. Sunglasses

Answer: (B)

In EMS infection control, protecting the eyes and body beyond gloves and a mask is essential. Eye protection and a gown are standard PPE items that shield the mucous membranes and skin from splashes, sprays, or contact with infectious materials during patient care. The phrase about adhering to protocol matters too because using PPE correctly and following infection control procedures is just as important as the gear itself. The other options don’t fit because they aren’t the typical PPE components used to protect against infectious exposure: boots aren’t a standard PPE item by itself, a wristwatch can be a contamination risk, and sunglasses don’t provide reliable eye protection in a medical setting.
