Gloving the Right Hand Scrubbing, Gowning, and Gloving Complete Group Discussion Now visit your Blackboard Course site and go the discussion board section. Discuss the following questions (on the next slide) with your other class members, be sure to share any previous experiences you may have had using Aseptic Technique along with any insights that you may have related to this topic.
