In standard precautions for healthcare workers touching patients, gloves are the minimum essential PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) to prevent contact with bodily fluids, pathogens, etc. Masks, gowns, or goggles are used based on exposure risk, but gloves are mandatory for direct patient contact.

Gloves (the option with the label "Gloves" among the choices, correcting the previous selection from Gown to Gloves as gloves are the minimum standard precaution for touching a patient).
