d. Repeat the technique described in paragraph c above for the left hand. The
team member can assist with donning this glove (see Figure 1-39). Give the team
member a moistened saline sponge so that he can remove excess powder from his
gloves if the gloves are powdered.
Figure 1-39. Assisting with the second glove. The scrubbed team member provides
assistance in donning this glove by holding the cuff of the glove with his gloved hand.
NOTE: The scrub should remove the powder from his gloves again.
