As seen in the picture, the practical nurse (PN) begins to remove a pair of sterile gloves after changing a client's dressing. Which action should the PN take next?

A. Move away from the overbed table: This action can be done after the gloves are completely removed and disposed of. Moving away too early increases the risk of bumping into something and contaminating the gloves. B. Sterile gloves are contaminated on the outside after performing a procedure like a dressing change. Pulling the glove down and everting it (turning it inside out) confines the contamination to the inside of the glove, reducing the risk of transferring germs to the hands or surrounding surfaces. This maintains a sterile field and minimizes the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). C. Loosen the glove from the fingers: This might be the initial step while grasping the glove for removal, but the key is to maintain aseptic technique by keeping the outside of the glove contained throughout removal. D. Raise the hands above waist level: Raising hands above the waist level increases the risk of contaminating the sterile field or nearby surfaces if the glove integrity is compromised.
