A nurse with open. weeping lesions of the hands puts on gloves before giving direct client care.

There is no need to wear gloves when feeding a client. However. universal precautions (treating all blood and body fluids as if they are infectious) should be observed in all situations. A client with active tuberculosis should be on respiratory precautions. Having the client wear a mask when leaving his private room is appropriate. Persons with exudative lesions or weeping dermatitis should not give direct client care or handle client-care equipment until the condition resolves. Strict isolation requires the use of mask. gown. and gloves.
