Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
It is inappropriate to use a closed gloving technique because contamination of the new glove by the porous cuff of a gown in use is inevitable. The hand will be contaminated by the knitted cuff of the gown, which has absorbed body sweat. The only way closed gloving is acceptable is if the scrub person dons a new sterile gown before re-gloving using the closed gloving method.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
Bald heads should be covered to prevent the shed and dispersal of scalp dander. All facial hair and head hair must be completely covered.
