    Nothing wrong with the glowes. Entire comode would have to be brought in to durty room for proper desinfection of equipment and prevention of spilling the waist on a way to the durty room.

    Using glove is correct, but looks like the blue pad is touching his skin ( left arm), potential for contamination.

    Proper use of gloves. Thumbs up! The only concern i have is that the pan should be put in a bag or covered container to prevent the contents from spilling on floor and on themselves. Good that he is holding the pan away from body. He is wearing gloves to handle body fluids and/or soiled items such as instruments. Regardless of what the contents are, he is following the rules for wearing gloves appropriately. I hope he disposes of the gloves after handling the pan and wash his hands using the hand hygiene protocols.
