Correct order of removing PPE???

[shar pei]

Hi all,

While studying, I noticed that LaCharity and Kaplan have different orders in relation to removal of PPE. Does anyone know what the correct order is that we need to know for NCLEX, or where i could find this information??? :uhoh21:

hi silver dragon,

is the CDC info more reliable than Saunders and Kaplan book?

CDC I would say is reliable

the cdc is the most correct..i also came up with an acronym to remember because as long as you remember and write down "go-meg" which are the steps to put it on..just reverse the process to take it off!

putting on ppe: "go-meg" 1. gown 2. mask 3. eyes (goggles) 4. gloves

removing ppe: just reverse the steps!! : 1.gloves 2. eyes 3. mask 4.gown

hope this helps!
