What should disposable gloves that come in contact with bodily fluids do before removal?

The correct approach to handling disposable gloves that have come into contact with bodily fluids is to ensure they are properly managed before removal. This involves rinsing them thoroughly to minimize the risk of contamination and protect both the individual removing the gloves and others around them. Rinsing helps to ensure that any potential pathogens or contaminants are diluted, which reduces the risk of transfer to the skin or surrounding areas upon removal.

Immediate disposal does not provide an opportunity to mitigate contamination risks, and leaving gloves on until arriving at the station poses unnecessary risks of spreading infectious materials. Furthermore, cleaning gloves with alcohol wipes could be ineffective since the gloves are designed for single-use and may not be sufficiently cleaned to prevent exposure. Rinsing gloves before removal is a protective measure that balances safety and hygiene in handling potentially hazardous materials.
