Preventing infections related to microorganisms that are airborne, bloodborne, or droplets can be done by donning appropriate PPE; such as: surgical or procedural mask, respirator, gloves, long-sleeved gowns and eye protection such as goggles or face shields, and most importantly, washing hands before and after each patient care activity. The rationale behind this is to prevent skin and mucous membrane exposure when in contact with blood and body fluid of any patient and also to decrease risk of nosocomial infection or transmission of infection. Proper handling of infected items is the key to reduce the risk of transmission and cross contamination within the facility. Removal of gloves, masks, and gowns after each use should be disposed according to the facility
