Glove awareness resources
Changes you can make:
- to not use gloves to give vaccinations
- to not use gloves when feeding people
- to not use gloves when entering a patient’s home
- to not use gloves automatically when giving IV medication
- to not use gloves when comforting patients.
Of course, the more changes you are able to pledge to make - the greater the impact.
