Certified Clinical Medical Assistant Exam Practice Question

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Removing contaminated gloves requires minimizing the risk of spreading pathogens. Holding both hands down and away from the body (Option B) ensures that any contaminants on the gloves fall away from the body, reducing exposure.

Option A suggests holding the dominant hand close to the body, which increases the risk of contamination transfer to the body. Option C, holding the nondominant hand at the wrist, does not effectively prevent contaminants from coming into contact with the body. Option D, holding both hands to the side, may not provide adequate distance from the body, potentially allowing for contamination.
