Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Option C is the correct technique for picking up the second glove. The nurse should use the gloved fingers to slide under the fold of the glove and slide the hand into the opening while avoiding touching the outer surface of the glove. The other options are incorrect techniques. Option A is incorrect because the cuff of the first glove should be adjusted with the gloved hand, not the ungloved one. Option B is also incorrect because the dominant hand should be gloved first, as it tends to be more skilled and more likely to touch sterile items. Option D is incorrect because if the sterile gloves are punctured, the nurse should remove both gloves and don a new pair.
