No8. Ans - False

Standard precaution is otherwise known as Universal precaution. It is designed to control infection and break the chain of infection by using barrier methods like the use of Personal protective equipment (gloves, gown, goggles), Hand hygiene, Proper disposal of infected waste, etc.

Above statement is false because of we dont need to wear gloves before touching any patient, if the patient has an infectious disease, if we are going to expose with the body fluid, blood, saliva, wound then only we have to wear gloves.
