You have just removed your gloves after emptying a urinary drainage bag. What should you do next?
- A.Perform hand hygiene before touching anything else
- B.Keep the same gloves on for the next resident's care
- C.Touch only clean items so hand hygiene can wait
- D.Wash hands only if the gloves looked torn or dirty
Correct answer
A. Perform hand hygiene before touching anything else
Why
Gloves can have tiny holes and hands are contaminated during removal, so hand hygiene is required after every glove removal. Reusing gloves or waiting spreads germs to surfaces and people.
