Bagging Procedures -
correct answer ✅Used articles may need to be enclosed in a bag
before they are removed from an isolation unit.

placed in the bag without contaminating the outside of the bag.
Double-Bagging Technique -

the isolation unit and one outside.
-The technician in the unit places contaminated items in a bag and
seals it tightly.
-The technician then takes the bag to the door where another
technician is standing outside the room.
-The technician outside should be holding another impervious bag
open with their hands under a cuff made by rolling back the top of
the bag.
The technician inside the isolation room then places the bag
containing contaminated items into the other bag, being careful not
to touch the outside.

have to worry much about cleaning it).
