Wearing gloves doesn’t replace hand hygiene. Inappropriate use of gloves results in a waste of resources & may increase risk of pathogen transmission.

Medical gloves are intended for single use. Wearing the same pair between different tasks and patients can result in cross-contamination and infection.
Always change gloves and clean your hands after exposure to body fluids.
