Why is it unsafe for a nursing assistant to wear dangling jewelry? the style of jewelry can offend others. the jewelry can be distracting to patients. a sick patient can contaminate the jewelry. a confused patient can grab at the jewelry.(answer is d)

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! :)
