Give 2 reasons why it is important to wear gloves while delivering first aid
Protection Against Infection: Gloves create a barrier that helps protect both the first aider and the injured person from the transmission of infectious diseases, such as bloodborne pathogens (e.g., HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C) or other contaminants.
Prevention of Cross-Contamination: Wearing gloves helps prevent the spread of germs or bacteria between the first aider, the injured person, and other individuals or surfaces, ensuring a safer and more hygienic response.
