Question

Mark is wearing tennis shoes while working at the hospital. Are these shoes

acceptable for the operating room, or would Mark need to take actions to
change them?

A. Yes, Mark's shoes are acceptable to wear in the operating room.
B. No, Mark would need to change his shoes to non-cloth material
and wear shoe covers.
C. Yes, Mark's shoes are acceptable, but he would need to also wear
shoe covers.
D. No, Mark would need to remove his shoes and wear plastic covers
instead

Answer 1

I think it would be B. I think this because while tennis shoes aren’t exactly bad and won’t mess with anything in an operating room it is also a possibility that blood and other organic material would get in his shoes which would be considered a bio-hazard. The shoes coverings would also be the safest bet because while the shoes might be water resistant (blood resistant ig) there is still the possibility that it would get through the gap in between the ankle and the shoe.

Hope this helps.
