Question

gloves should be worn during which of the following medical office tasks?
cleaning the front office table
performing a blood pressure reading for a patient
handling anything contaminated with blood
handling unused suture scissors

Explanation:

Gloves are worn to prevent contact with potentially infectious materials. Blood is a biohazard. Cleaning a front - office table (not likely to have biohazards), performing a blood pressure reading (no direct contact with blood in a normal reading), and handling unused suture scissors (not contaminated) do not typically require gloves. Handling blood - contaminated items requires gloves to protect against blood - borne pathogens.

Answer:

Handling anything contaminated with blood.
