Controlling a wound that is spurting blood presents a risk of blood splatter, which can potentially enter the eyes or nose. Therefore, gloves and goggles or a face shield are necessary to protect the caregiver from any bodily fluids. Brushing a client's teeth and giving eye care may only require gloves, while serving food may only require gloves and proper hand hygiene.
