Answer:

Among the options you provided, the correct answer would be Double chemo-therapy gloves and Protective gown, as administering oral liquid to a patient carries a risk of splashing or splattering, and healthcare workers may want to avoid any contact with the patient's body fluids or the medication. However, it is important to note that this may depend on the specific policies and regulations in the healthcare setting, and healthcare workers should always follow the appropriate protocols and guidelines. Respiratory protection is not typically necessary for administering oral liquid. Single chemo-therapy gloves may be used for standard precautions, but the use of double gloves may provide additional protection.
