Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Removing staples from a wound that is healing, such as after a cesarean section, typically requires the use of clean gloves for protection against potential exposure to bodily fluids. Sterile gloves, face shields, gowns, and shoe covers are not usually necessary for this procedure, as it is considered a clean but not sterile task.
