When the nurse dons sterile gloves, which action would demonstrate correct technique?
1. Straighten the cuff of the first glove with the ungloved hand.
2. When donning the gloves, put the first glove on the nondominant hand.
3. Pick up the second glove by sliding the gloved fingers under the fold of the glove and sliding the hand into the opening.
4. If the sterile glove is punctured, pull a new sterile glove on top of the old glove.
Correct Answer: 3
The nurse puts the first glove on the nondominant hand, and then slides the gloved finger under the cuff of the second glove, taking care to keep the sterile gloved hand as far away from the ungloved hand as possible to avoid contamination. Only after both gloves are on is the cuff of the first glove straightened by sliding the gloved dominant hand under the cuff, using care not to touch the contaminated underside of the glove. If the sterile glove is punctured, both gloves must be removed, hand hygiene should be performed, and then the nurse should reglove.
