The document provides instructions for donning gloves and a face mask for infection control. It describes the proper technique for putting on sterile gloves using the open method with one glove on each hand. It also covers removing disposable gloves by turning them inside out. Donning of non-sterile gloves is less strict, avoiding contamination. Finally, it outlines correctly positioning and securing a face mask below the face, over the nose, under the chin, and around the ears.
