Changing gloves between wound care on different parts of the client’s body.

Autocontamination is the transfer of microorganisms from one area to another area of the same clients body. causing infection of a previously uninfected area. Although all techniques listed can help reduce the risk for infection. only changing gloves between carrying out wound care on different parts of the clients body can prevent autocontamination.
