In the proper donning sequence for full personal protective equipment, which item is put on last?
Correct Answer:
Gloves
Explanation:
PPE donning order is designed to preserve barrier integrity and prevent self-contamination. After hand hygiene, you put on the gown, then the mask or respirator, and then eye protection. The final piece to be donned is the gloves because they are the last barrier between your hands and any contaminants you may touch during patient care. Putting gloves on last allows you to handle the rest of the PPE with clean hands and ensures the gown sleeves remain protected by the gloves, creating a continuous barrier at the wrists. Once gloves are on, you can proceed with patient care while keeping the hands protected and minimizing the chance of transferring contaminants.
