What type of protective equipment must be worn to guard against exposure to infectious materials?

Face masks
Disposable gloves
Protective gowns
Safety glasses

The correct answer is: Disposable gloves

The correct choice focuses on the necessity of wearing disposable gloves to protect against exposure to infectious materials. Disposable gloves are essential because they create a barrier between the skin and potential contaminants, including blood and other bodily fluids that may carry infectious agents. Wearing gloves significantly reduces the risk of direct contact and helps ensure that any pathogens present are not transferred to the skin during tattoo procedures. While face masks, protective gowns, and safety glasses can provide valuable protection in specific contexts, gloves are a foundational piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) specifically intended for situations where the skin may come into contact with infectious materials. Therefore, their use is crucial in maintaining hygiene and safeguarding both the tattoo artist and the client during the tattooing process.
