How to Apply Gloves Correctly | CNA Skills Exam with Nurse Eunice

🧤 Do you know how to put on disposable gloves correctly? Proper glove use is an important infection control skill that helps protect nursing assistants and the residents they care for! Welcome to the CNA Clinical Skills Lab with Nurse Eunice! In today's lesson, we'll review how to apply disposable gloves, common mistakes to avoid, and important safety reminders for your CNA skills exam. ✅ STEPS FOR APPLYING GLOVES 1. Perform hand hygiene before putting on gloves. 2. Select the correct glove size and check for tears or damage. 3. Remove a clean pair of gloves from the box without contaminating the remaining gloves. 4. Insert your first hand into the glove, making sure your fingers fit properly. 5. Pull the glove gently over your fingers, palm, and wrist. 6. Repeat the process with your other hand. 7. Adjust the gloves for a comfortable fit without touching contaminated surfaces. 8. Make sure both gloves are secure and ready for resident care. 🚨 COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID ❌ Forgetting to perform hand hygiene before putting on gloves. ❌ Choosing gloves that are too tight or too loose. ❌ Using gloves that are torn, damaged, or visibly dirty. ❌ Touching your face, phone, hair, or other unnecessary surfaces after putting on gloves. ❌ Wearing the same gloves while caring for different residents. ❌ Thinking gloves replace proper handwashing. 💡 NURSE EUNICE'S SKILLS LAB TIP Clean hands first, gloves second! Always perform hand hygiene before putting on gloves. Make sure your hands are dry so the gloves are easier to apply. Remember, gloves are single-use items. Change them when they become contaminated, damaged, or when moving between tasks that require a clean pair. Never wash or reuse disposable gloves! Follow your state's CNA skills testing handbook and your facility's infection control procedures. 🎓 READY TO PREPARE FOR YOUR CNA EXAM? 📚 ONLINE CNA EXAM PREP COURSE Study at your own pace for only $29.99 per month!
