Incorrect sizing can lead to a variety of issues. For example, uniforms that are too tight or too loose can restrict movement or get caught on equipment, posing safety hazards. Ill-fitting shoes can cause foot problems such as blisters, bunions, or plantar fasciitis. Similarly, gloves that are not the correct size can impair manual dexterity, making it difficult to perform tasks such as administering injections or starting IV lines.
