Which of the following steps should the nurse perform when removing surgical attire in order to avoid contamination?

Before removing gloves, wipe them clean with a sterile towel.
Grasp the front of the gown and pull forward to untie it and pull it off.
To remove a mask, pull the front of the mask forward from the face and then down.
Remove sterile gloves after all other scrub attire has been removed.

Explanation

Answer: A-When removing surgical attire, before removing gloves, wipe them clean with a sterile towel. This reduces the amount of moisture or body fluids that may be on the gloves. Gowns and masks should always be removed by untying the back instead of pulling from the front. Gloves should be removed with the sterile gown.
