The nurse will remove his or her different protective devices and there is a sequence that should be followed to make this possible. First of all, the nurse would have to remove the gloves first. After that, the mask will be removed. Then, the gown will be removed by the nurse.

Once the gown has been completely removed, all of the other protective devices used by the nurse will be removed in this order: cap, shoe cover, and other items. Take note that protective gear is needed so that the nurse will prevent being contaminated by the sickness or disease. This will also lessen the chance that the disease will spread to the other patients.
