Removing PPE Question!

Published

Hey everyone! I was taught in nursing school how to remove PPEs. I even have a little card attached to my nursing badge to remind me of the process of removing PPEs. It has always been::

-Remove gloves, Remove Gown, Perform Hand Hygiene, Remove Eye Protection, Remove Mask or N95 Respirator, Perform Hand Hygiene.

This always made sense to me too. However, Uworld is saying

gloves, goggles or face shield, gown, mask or respirator, and hand hygiene.

Like.... how you gonna touch your face without at least washing your hands first. Someone help me
