Personal HygieneQuestion 371 of 500
A cook wearing single-use gloves is portioning cooked chicken when the phone rings and he steps away to answer it. What must he do when he returns?
a.Rinse the gloves under the prep sink faucet and keep portioning
b.Wipe the gloves on a clean apron and keep portioning
c.Spray the gloves with sanitizer and keep portioning
d.Discard the gloves, wash his hands, and put on new gloves
Explanation
Single-use gloves are used for only one task and must be discarded when they are damaged or soiled, or when an interruption occurs in the operation. Hands are washed before a new pair goes on, because rinsing, wiping, or spraying a glove leaves whatever the cook touched during the interruption on the surface that will touch food.
