Answer 1

The answer should be c, a sick patient can contaminate the jewelery

Answer 2

Hello!
The reason that nurses cannot wear gaudy jewelry is the same reason that you shouldn’t have long, loose hair or clothing in a lab setting: it may catch it things and cause harm to you or others in your environment.

For this specific question, the correct answer would be D. A confused patient can grab at the jewelry.

This could harm the nurse and the patient and jewelry is not appropriate in a medical setting as it can interfere with the healing process of patients.

I hope this helps! :)
