That Is The Question…
Here is my theory: During your clinical weekend, if you encounter something wet that is not yours and you could possibly come into contact with it then glove up!
Areas of care you could be assigned during your weekend and when gloving would be advised:

20 minute checks – IV site, foley catheter
Vital signs – oral temp with the mucus membranes, axillary temp and sweat
Wound – always wear gloves when assessing a wound or changing a dressing
Abdominal assessment – if there is a dressing on the abdomen
PVA – I personally don’t like touching feet
Neurological – don’t have to
Respiratory – especially when having the patient cough
Skin – any chance of skin breakdown and moisture
Feedings – when you are coming into contact with oral mucus membranes
Pain management – only if you are doing an intervention that would require contact with infected or open skin
Comfort management – if repositioning a patient that might be incontinent
Mobility – not really needed
Medications – when administering yes
