An example of disposable equipment is:

  1. Bedpan

  2. Gloves

  3. Stethoscope

  4. Linen

The correct answer is: Bedpan

Disposable equipment is designed to be used only once and then discarded. In the healthcare setting, it is crucial to prevent the spread of infections and maintain hygiene standards. A bedpan, such as option A, is an example of disposable equipment because after it is used by a patient, it is disposed of to prevent contamination and reduce the risk of infection transmission. Gloves (option B), stethoscopes (option C), and linen (option D) are not typically considered disposable equipment as they can be cleaned, disinfected, and reused multiple times.
