Perioperative nurses are empowered to act as patient advocates. As such, it is their responsibility to critically evaluate all products used in the surgical environment, including gloves. A basic understanding of the history of surgical gloves, health issues associated with their use, glove materials, and the essential properties of hand scrubs can help perioperative nurses choose appropriate products. This article explores these issues so that nurses and other health care workers can develop a framework for making informed decisions based on clinical reasoning.
围手术期护士有权充当患者的倡导者。因此，他们有责任严格评估手术环境中使用的所有产品，包括手套。对手术手套的历史、使用相关的健康问题、手套材料以及手部擦洗用品的基本特性有一个基本的了解，有助于围手术期护士选择合适的产品。本文探讨了这些问题，以便护士和其他医护人员能够建立一个基于临床推理做出明智决策的框架。
