4 – 6 What's the difference between closed gloving and open gloving?
(3 points)

Closed gloving and open gloving are two techniques for putting on
sterile gloves in a surgical or medical setting. The main difference
between the two is the level of contamination risk during the gloving
process. In closed gloving, the surgeon or medical professional puts on
sterile gloves without touching the outside of the gloves with their bare
hands. This is done by using a special technique that involves grasping
the gloves from the inside and pulling them onto the hands, ensuring
that the outside of the gloves remains sterile. Closed gloving is
considered the more aseptic technique and is often used in situations
where a high level of sterility is required, such as in surgical procedures.
In open gloving, the gloves are opened and put on with the bare hands,
which means there is a higher risk of contamination from the outside of
the gloves or the hands of the wearer. This technique is often used in
less critical situations, such as during basic medical examinations or
procedures where the risk of contamination is lower.

7- 9 why should scrub suits not be worn from home to the hospital?

Scrub suits are typically worn by healthcare professionals in hospitals

and other medical settings to maintain a sterile environment and
reduce the risk of infection. Scrub suits are designed to be worn only in
the hospital or medical facility and should not be worn outside the
facility, including during transit from home to work or vice versa. it is
important to maintain a sterile environment in hospitals and medical
facilities to reduce the risk of infection. Wearing scrub suits only within
the hospital environment is an important part of infection control
practices, and healthcare professionals should change into their scrubs
upon arriving at work and change out of them before leaving the
hospital.
