The gloves are contaminated, so it is important to remove them and decontaminate your hands before touching any clean surfaces to prevent the spread of the contamination. Washing your gloved hands is not sufficient as the gloves themselves are contaminated. Completing necessary care and removing the gloves is not enough to prevent the spread of contamination either. Asking the nurse what to do may take too much time and increase the risk of contamination spread.
