How should a used gown be removed?
- A.Shake it out well so loose material falls off in the room
- B.Hang it on the door hook to reuse for the next visit
- C.Roll it inside out so the contaminated side is contained, then discard it
- D.Fold it with the contaminated side facing outward neatly
Correct answer
C. Roll it inside out so the contaminated side is contained, then discard it
Why
Rolling the gown inside out traps the soiled surface inside for safe disposal. Shaking spreads particles, and disposable gowns are never hung up for reuse.
