question 5
to minimize the risk of disease transmission, you should:
clean your gloves after each use.
cover any tears with tape.
keep the same gloves on when giving care to several people.
replace gloves that become ripped or torn.

Explanation:

To minimize disease transmission, we analyze each option:

• Cleaning gloves after use is ineffective as gloves are single - use for hygiene.
• Covering tears with tape doesn't prevent contamination; torn gloves should be replaced.
• Using the same gloves for multiple people spreads germs.
• Replacing ripped/torn gloves is correct as torn gloves can't protect from pathogens.

Answer:

D. Replace gloves that become ripped or torn.
