A student falls on the playground and her knee begins to bleed. Her teacher goes to apply first aid. The teacher should remember to use the following safeguard.

The teacher should wear gloves before treating the bleeding knee. Gloves create a barrier between the student’s blood and the teacher’s skin, helping prevent the spread of infection. Soap is useful for washing hands, but it does not replace gloves while providing first aid.
