Correct Answer:
“As long as I change my gloves between clients, it is not necessary to wash my hands."
Rationale:
♦️Gloves are not a substitute for hand hygiene, as microorganisms can be transferred during glove removal or through microscopic tears.
♦️ Handwashing before and after glove use prevents contamination and protects both patients and staff.
♦️ The CDC emphasizes that gloves should be used in combination with, not in place of, proper hand hygiene practices.
♦️ Failing to wash hands can lead to healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
♦️ Staff education should highlight that gloves are a barrier, but not absolute protection against pathogen transmission.
