What do "Gloves" provide a covering for?

  1. The hand

  2. The hair

  3. The wrist

  4. The arm

The correct answer is: The hand

Gloves provide a covering for the hand, serving as a critical barrier in healthcare settings. They protect both the caregiver and the patient from potential contamination and infection during various procedures. By covering the hands, gloves help to maintain hygiene, prevent the transfer of pathogens, and ensure safety when handling bodily fluids or contaminated materials. This is essential for preventing the spread of infections and maintaining an aseptic environment in healthcare. The other options, while they denote body parts, do not accurately represent the primary purpose of gloves.
