What is PPE worn for?

  1. Behavioral precautions

  2. Contact precautions

  3. Nutritional precautions

  4. Respiratory precautions

The correct answer is: Behavioral precautions

PPE, or personal protective equipment, is worn to protect the wearer from potential hazards or infectious materials. This can include things like gloves, masks, gowns, and goggles. It is typically worn in healthcare settings to prevent the spread of diseases and viruses. The other options listed (B, C, and D) are incorrect because they refer to specific types of precautions that may be taken in healthcare, but they do not necessarily involve the use of PPE. Contact precautions refer to steps taken to prevent the transmission of germs through touch, nutritional precautions refer to specific dietary measures, and respiratory precautions refer to measures taken to protect against respiratory illnesses. While these precautions may be important, they do not involve the use of specific protective equipment like PPE does. Therefore, the correct answer is A behavioral precautions.
