Question: 1 / 400

If you use a waterless handwashing substitute in the field, it is important to:

avoid donning another pair of gloves for at least 10 minutes

When using a waterless handwashing substitute, it is important to avoid donning another pair of gloves for at least 10 minutes. This is because the handwashing substitute needs time to effectively kill any germs on your hands. Option B is incorrect because drying your hands with a paper towel does not provide the necessary time for the handwashing substitute to work. Option C is incorrect because waiting only five minutes may not be enough time for the handwashing substitute to kill all germs. Option D is incorrect because using soap and water at the hospital is not necessary if you have already used a waterless handwashing substitute. Therefore, the best option is to wait at least 10 minutes before touching another patient to ensure proper disinfection of your hands.
