Clean gloves are to be put on just before touching mucous membranes and nonintact skin and gloves should be changes between tasks and procedures on the same resident after contact with material that may contain a high concentration of microorganisms. Gowns are to be worn to protect skin and prevent soiling of clothing during procedures and resident care activities that are likely to generate splashes or sprays of blood, body fluids, secretions, or excretions or cause soiling of clothing. Staff are to remove a soiled gown as promptly as possible and wash hands to avoid transfer of microorganisms to other residents or environments.
