Best Answer

The chances of catching the bug yourself from your patient is reasonably small; that is unless you yourself have any open wounds or sores that are not suitably treated and dressed so if this were the case you should not be doing his wound care.

The only protective clothing you need are apron and gloves. Remember to keep dressings sterile and to wash your hands well with hot soapy water.

How protective should a guy be for his girlfriend?

A boy friend should be very protective of his girlfriend. Don't smother though, girls seem to not like that;) My friend that's a girl, I say that because I cannot date just yet, sometimes gets slapped on the but by some pervert and I am protective of her... It makes me SO angry when he does it! I don't smother her. But when I am around her I feel protective. So guys should be protective but not over protective. Because that may give the girl a vibe that your crazy.
