Barriers used in infection control include gloves that should be worn when there is a possibility of coming in contact with what?

  1. Blood

  2. Skin

  3. Sweat

  4. Body fluids

The correct answer is: Body fluids

Gloves are an essential barrier used in infection control to prevent contact with body fluids of a patient. Body fluids include saliva, blood, urine, and mucous membranes. Wearing gloves when coming in contact with these fluids helps to prevent the spread of infections. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not fully encompass all the fluids that gloves should protect against. For example, gloves should also be worn when coming in contact with mucous membranes, which are not included in options A, B, or C. Therefore, the most viable option is D, body fluids.
