The US policy of 'universal precautions' treats all body fluids and excreta as an infection risk. Nurses have a responsibility to understand the rationale for glove use. Gloves play a major part in preventing cross-infection. The wearing of gloves is not a substitute for handwashing.
美国的“普遍预防措施”政策将所有体液和排泄物都视为感染风险源。护士有责任了解使用手套的基本原理。手套在预防交叉感染方面起着重要作用。戴手套并不能替代洗手。
