Why nurses must wear gloves ?
Nurses wear gloves in the following circumstances:
1- As a
barrier to prevent direct hand contact
with blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions, mucous membranes, and non-intact skinSlide4
2- As
a barrier to protect clients from microorganisms transmitted from nursing personnel
when performing procedures
3- When there is a potential transfer of microorganisms
from
one client or object
to another
client during subsequent nursing careSlide5
Gloves
Examination gloves are generally made of latex
Unfortunately some nurses and clients are
allergic
to latex. Slide6

Clean gloves
should be worn when hand contact with blood or potentially contaminated substances is possible.
This includes handling dirty equipment and during procedures where hands may become contaminated.
In these instances non-sterile procedure gloves are normally used.Slide8
Sterile gloves
Gloves should also be worn during invasive or sterile procedures including surgical procedures and aseptic pharmaceutical preparation.
In these instances sterile surgeon or sterile examination gloves are normally used.Slide9
Creating a Sterile Field
A
sterile field
means a work area free of microorganismsSlide10
Principles of Sterile Field
1- They preserve sterility by touching one sterile item with another that is sterile.
2- Once a sterile item touches something that is not, it is considered contaminated.
3- Any partially unwrapped sterile package is considered contaminated.Slide11
4- If there is a question about the sterility of an item, it is considered unsterile.
5- The longer the time since sterilization, the more likely it is that the item is no longer sterile.
6- A commercially packaged sterile item is not considered sterile past its recommended expiration date.Slide12
7- Once a sterile item is opened or uncovered, it is only a matter of time before it becomes contaminated.
8- The outer 1-inch margin of a sterile area is considered a zone of contamination.
9- sterile wrapper, if it becomes wet, wicks microorganisms from its supporting surface, causing contamination.Slide13
10- Any opened sterile item or sterile area is considered contaminated if it is left unattended.
11- Coughing, sneezing, or excessive talking over a sterile field causes contamination.
12- Reaching across an area that contains sterile equipment has a high potential for causing contamination and is therefore avoided.Slide14
13- Sterile items that are located or lowered below waist level are considered contaminated because they are not within critical view.Slide15
