In what order should protective wear be removed in a strict isolation environment?

  1. Mask, gloves, and gown

  2. Gown, mask, and gloves

  3. Gloves, gown, and mask

  4. Gloves, mask, and gown

The correct answer is: Gloves, mask, and gown

In a strict isolation environment, the order in which protective wear should be removed is gloves, mask, and then gown. This is because gloves are the most contaminated item and should be taken off first to prevent transferring any potential contaminants to the mask and gown. Then the mask should be removed followed by the gown, which is the least contaminated item. Removing the protective wear in any other order may increase the risk of contamination.
