The use of gloves in the medical field extends beyond protecting healthcare workers. They are also crucial in protecting patients, especially those with compromised immune systems. For example, during chemotherapy administration, nurses wear gloves to protect both themselves and their patients from the cytotoxic effects of the drugs. Similarly, gloves are used when handling sterile instruments and supplies, ensuring that patients are not exposed to contaminants.
