Medical asepsis task before/after each patient is...

While donning gloves is an important practice to maintain asepsis, it does not replace the need for hand hygiene. Gloves can provide a barrier, but they can still become contaminated. Therefore, hand hygiene must be performed both before putting on gloves and after removing them to ensure complete infection control.

Hand sanitization refers specifically to the use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers to clean hands. Although an effective method of hand hygiene, it is not the only approach. The term "hand hygiene" encompasses both washing with soap and water and using hand sanitizers, making it a broader and more inclusive practice.

Glove removal is a task that occurs after patient contact, but it is not a primary aseptic measure. Like glove donning, removing gloves is a part of the aseptic technique; however, it should always be preceded and followed by proper hand hygiene to ensure that hands are clean before and after patient interactions.
