|
Glove Removal Test
|
|
|
Content Objective:
|
Faculty and students will learn the proper way
to apply and remove gloves for emergency situations. Faculty and students will gain confidence
when handling blood and other infectious situations. In addition, faculty and students will see
the effects of careless glove removal.
|
Materials:
|
Glo Germ Kit, box(es) of gloves (make
sure to choose the variety of glove types available to your organization to
simulate a normal glove offering), Glove Removal Handout (PDF is attached), flipcharts,
Certificates of Achievement, prizes and awards, Instructional video on blood
and protective equipment (optional), etc.
|
Vocabulary
|
- Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE)
- Virus
- Blood Pathogens
|
Building
Background Knowledge:
|
Ask students the following questions:
- How do gloves and
other personal protective equipment help keep faculty and students safe?
- The caregiver is
protected from infectious agents
- The injured/hurt
individual is protected from further infectious agents from the
caregiver
- Why is glove removal
important? (main cause of spreading)
- How do gloves deceive
users of eliminating the risk of infectious germs?
- The average person
thinks that wearing gloves takes
away the risk of germs, but they forget about the importance of not
touching articles of clothing, their face, and so forth.
|
Exploration:
|
- Make sure all
students or faculty members can effectively put on gloves.
- Use the Glo Germ Powder to illustrate how germs spread and affect us daily.
- Have students apply
the Glo Germ Gel or Powder. Make sure they get it all over their
hands (i.e. doorknobs, sinks, pencils, or other designated area)
- Using the black
light, show students how germs lurk on their hands
- Have them wash their
hands and check for the germs again
- Use the Glo Germ Lotion or Powder for many of the activities and games supplied by
OUTFOX in this manual
|
Explanation:
|
Introduce the subject by emphasizing that, even
with the use of gloves, infectious particles can pass from person to person. First, have your employee(s) wash their
hands properly and apply a pair of gloves.
Once they have gloves on, apply the simulated germs (Glo Germ Lotion
or Powder). You can apply the Lotion
or Powder to the gloves directly or to an item and have them “use” the item
to get the germs spreading.
Next, show them the simulated germs with a
black light in a dark or shaded area.
Then, instruct them to remove their gloves as they would on a normal
basis. Turn the black light on once
more and inspect their hands, gowns, workstation, etc. for spread germs. Especially check for “flipped” particles
and point out that the contents flipped onto areas in the classroom could be
highly infectious material.
Share statistics or stories to further
illustrate the importance of handling infectious agents, even in
disposal. Have the faculty or students
repeat the task as many times as necessary to get optimal results. Finally, pass out certificates, awards and
prizes to those that completed the training successfully and excelled at the
task.
|
“Hands
On Experience:”
|
- Fluorescent Germs
- Seeing how germs
spread (even onto clothes and other places)
- Getting gloves off
without spreading more germs
- Inspecting the area
for “Flipped” germs
|
Wrap
Up:
|
- Ensure that all
faculty members or students are present and attentive (it is recommended
to form a circle during the demonstrations) while each person is being
checked.
- Run through each
question asked at the beginning of the lesson one more time and talk
about the new insight gained.
|
Home
Connection:
|
- Have the faculty
member or student tell at least one person about their experience.
- Show family members
and friends the Glove Removal Handout to illustrate best practice
standards
