How to remove gloves properly and safely that are contaminated. It is very important that as the nurse, nursing student, or CNA you know how to remove gloves properly. Glove removal safety is crucial in preventing the contamination of the germs present on the outside of the gloves to your skin or scrubs. In order to remove gloves safely, you will first grasp the outside cuff of one of the gloves. Then peel the glove off and grab the peeled off glove into the hand on the gloved hand. Make sure the removed glove is secured completely in the gloved hand (hence your gloved hand is closed shut and holding the removed glove). Then take the index finger of the un-gloved hand and slide it under the cuff of the gloved hand and peel it off. The glove with turn inside out and form a pouch that contains the soiled gloves. Throw the gloves away and immediately perform hand hygiene. More nursing skills: Article:
