Answer 1

Eye and face protection should be worn when there is a risk of skin or eye contact with harmful chemicals, such as when working with hazardous medications or administering aerosolized agents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Eye and face protection should be worn when there is a possibility of splashing from a hazardous medication, administering an aerosolized hazardous agent, crushing oral chemotherapy at the patient bedside, or any other situation where there is a risk of skin or eye contact with harmful chemicals.

Chemicals can damage the skin or be absorbed into the bloodstream through the skin or eyes, so it is important to protect these areas with appropriate protective gear.

For example, when working with hazardous medications, healthcare workers should wear goggles or face shields to protect their eyes and a face mask or respirator to protect against inhaling aerosolized agents.
