Torn gloves should be replaced

  1. at the end of the procedure

  2. as soon as possible

  3. only if they are visibly soiled

  4. every hour

The correct answer is: as soon as possible

Torn gloves should be replaced as soon as possible because they no longer provide proper protection and can potentially expose the user to bacteria or contaminants. Option A, replacing them at the end of the procedure, may be too late if the gloves were torn during the process. Option C, only replacing visibly soiled gloves, may not account for microscopic tears that can occur and still compromise the integrity of the gloves. Option D, replacing gloves every hour, may be excessive and wasteful if the gloves are still in good condition.
