When donning full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), which item should be worn first?

Mask
Gown
Gloves
Face shield

The correct answer is: Gown

When donning full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), the gown should be worn first to ensure proper coverage of the body and to prevent contamination of the clothing. The gown serves as a barrier, protecting the skin and personal clothing from blood, bodily fluids, and other potential infectious materials when interacting with patients or specimens. By putting on the gown first, it also allows for the subsequent application of the mask, face shield, and gloves to be done in a manner that minimizes the risk of contaminating the exposed areas of the body. Wearing the gown first supports overall infection control practices, as it provides a layer of protection before handling other PPE that might come into contact with contaminants. After the gown is secured, other elements of PPE can be donned in a systematic manner to maintain safety and prevent cross-contamination.
