HEY IF ANYONE KNOWS THE CORRECT REMOVAL FOR PPE? I AM STUDYING TRANSMISSION BASED PRECAUTIONS FOR NCLEX. I REALIZE IN MY NOTES I HAVE TWO WAYS TO REMOVE PPE.

1. IS IT GLOVES FIRST, THEN EYE WEAR, UNTIE AT THE WAIST OF GOWN AND THEN NECK PART, REMOVE MASK IF IT TIES, UNDUE THE TOP AND THEN THE BOTTOM.

2. GLOVES FIRST, FOLLOWED BY MASK, THEN GOWN, AND THEN EYEWEAR.

I NEED CLARIFICATION MAKE SURE I KNOW IT FOR BOARDS. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!:wink2:
