Which of the following is the correct sequence for removing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)?

Shoe covers, Gloves, Goggles/ face shield, Gown, Mask or respirator
Gloves, Gown, Shoe covers, Goggles/ face shield, Mask or respirator
Goggles/ face shield, Mask or respirator, Gloves, Shoe covers, Gown
Mask or respirator, Gown, Gloves, Shoe covers, Goggles/ face shield

The correct answer is: Shoe covers, Gloves, Goggles/ face shield, Gown, Mask or respirator

The correct sequence for removing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is crucial in preventing contamination. The correct sequence for removing PPE is to start with removing shoe covers, followed by gloves, goggles/face shield, gown, and finally, the mask or respirator. This sequence ensures that any contaminants on the outer layers of PPE are removed last, reducing the risk of self-contamination. Option B is incorrect because gloves should be removed before the gown to avoid contamination. Option C is incorrect because gloves should be removed before the goggles/face shield. Option D is incorrect because the mask or respirator should be removed last, after the gown.
