Question 20 • AA - S26 Introduction to Healthcare Science

How should you remove the second glove once you have removed the first?

Answer
A
Throw the first glove away, then grab the second glove with your free hand.
B
Hold on to the first glove, and then slip the fingers of your free hand underneath the first glove.
C
Hold on to the first glove, and then grab the outside of the second glove near the wrist.
D
Have your patient remove the second glove if you have contacted their bodily fluid.

Explanation

After removing the first glove, keep it balled up in your still-gloved hand. Slide the fingers of your bare hand under the cuff of the remaining glove, touching only its inside, and peel it off inside out over the first glove. This avoids touching the contaminated outside of either glove with your bare hand. So the correct choice is “Hold on to the first glove, and then slip the fingers of your free hand underneath the first glove.”
