Proper donning and doffing of nursing gowns are essential to ensure their effectiveness:
Donning: Before putting on a gown, healthcare providers should perform hand hygiene. The gown should be fully secured, covering the torso and arms. Ties or fasteners should be used to ensure a snug fit. Doffing: To remove the gown, healthcare providers should avoid contact with the contaminated exterior. The gown should be carefully untied and removed inside-out, followed by immediate disposal in designated containers, and hand hygiene should be performed.
