As long as the medical assistant performs a medical aseptic hand wash, gloves are not necessary during a laceration dressing change. True or false

Respuesta :

The statement 'as long as the medical assistant performs a medical aseptic hand wash, gloves are not necessary during a laceration dressing change' is false.

Special care needs to be taken when dressing deep cuts or injuries. The chances of an infectious microorganism to enter the body of a patient through a deep open cut are at high levels. Hence, a medical assistant needs to take every precautionary measure when dressing a laceration.

Although a medical aseptic hand wash eradicates maximum microorganisms but chances are that some of the microorganism might not be affected by it, there might be others that would be resistant to the aseptic hand wash. Hence, gloves need to be worn at the time of dressing change.
