Gloves
According to standard infection control guidelines, the correct sequence for donning personal protective equipment is to first put on the gown, followed by the mask or respirator, then goggles or a face shield, and finally the gloves. The gloves are always put on last so that they can be pulled up and over the cuffs of the isolation gown, sealing the wrists and creating a continuous protective barrier.

Recall the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) standard sequence for donning (putting on) PPE.
The correct sequence is: 1) Gown, 2) Mask or respirator, 3) Goggles or face shield, and 4) Gloves.
Following the standardized sequence ensures that the PPE fits securely and provides the maximum intended protection against exposure to infectious agents.
