Congratulations! You are an expert at Donning PPE for contact/droplets precautions! Let's see how you do with Doffing: Once I have completed the client care and I am getting ready to remove my PPE, I should first:
- A.
  
  Leave the house;
- B.
  
  Leave the client care area (at least 2 meters away);
- C.
  
  Leave the room;
- D.
  
  Run away.
Correct Answer
B. Leave the client care area (at least 2 meters away);

Explanation
Before removing PPE, it is important to leave the client care area and maintain a distance of at least 2 meters. This is to minimize the risk of contamination and prevent the spread of any potential pathogens that may be present on the PPE. Leaving the client care area ensures that any potential contaminants are contained within that area and do not spread to other parts of the environment.

Explanation
When removing personal protective equipment (PPE), it is important to follow the proper sequence to minimize the risk of contamination. The correct answer states that the first piece of PPE to remove is the gloves without touching the outside of the gloves. This is because the gloves are considered to be the most contaminated part of the PPE, and touching the outside of the gloves could transfer any potential contaminants onto the hands. By removing the gloves first without touching the outside, the risk of contamination is reduced.

Washing hands with ABHR (Alcohol-Based Hand Rub) or soap and water helps to remove dirt, bacteria, and other contaminants that may be present on the hands. This is especially important if the hands are visibly soiled, as it indicates a higher level of contamination. By properly washing hands, individuals can reduce the risk of transmitting pathogens to themselves and others.
