Hi there,

It's possible to say:

'A nurse(or doctor) must be wearing pastic gloves during a delivery, otherwise gems on their hands could infect the opened up area'

'A nurse(or doctor) must be wearing pastic gloves during a giving-birth phase, otherwise gems on their hands could infect the opened up area'

I'd recommend the first one, simple & easy.

"during delivery" is good, but "the opened up area" is not. It's vague. How about "to reduce the likelihood of infection to the mother"?

hi there Grammar Geek,

It seems that I didn't pay attention to the last part of the sentence quite well..

Thanks for the clarification.

best regards

Hi guys,

. . . otherwise gems on their hands could infect the opened up area

Somebody needs to tell these nurses to take their rings off.

Hi!

Thanks for all the very detailed and insightful helps and corrections. I was thinking the possibility for 'receive', it seemed unlikely and I couldn't move onto 'delivery'.

'A nurse(or doctor) must be wearing pastic gloves during a DELIVERY, otherwise GERMS on their hands could INCREASE THE CHANCE of infecting the mother'. Thanks-Terr

And how about plastic gloves, instead of pastic gloves?  Even better, how about latex gloves?
