Wearing a punctured glove during patient care may result in which type of microbial contact?

  1. Indirect

  2. Direct

  3. No contact

  4. Airborne

The correct answer is: Direct

The puncture in the glove allows for direct contact between the healthcare worker's hand and the patient's skin, increasing the risk for microbial transmission. Options A, C, and D do not involve physical contact and therefore would not be affected by a puncture in the glove.
