But they are not stressed to wear gloves simply for their own health, improper precautions puts these patients at risk because their immune systems are weak and vulnerable. A sniffle to you is critical pneumonia to them.

They stress wearing gloves and not getting any of these other fluids on you if you are in contact with an infected person to insure not getting it. Is this information out there for everyone to see? I mean, when a nurse puts on 2 or 3 pairs of gloves to make sure they dont get it just to take your temp. It makes you wonder. Well, using gloves 2 or 3 pairs at least is usually part of the hospital protocol. Also, that is to protect the health care providers from being infected.
