Nursing Process
9. A passive safety device:
a. Requires activation of a safety mechanism b. Does not require activation
c. Is less desirable than an active safety device
d. Is an external device that must be attached prior to use 10. The risks of hazardous drugs are minimized when:
a. Drugs are prepared for administration in the patient room b. A standard sharps container is used for disposal of all drug-
contaminated supplies
c. Chemotherapy gloves and gown are worn during drug administration
d. Hand hygiene is performed prior to gown removal
