While the Clinicals focused on applying medical skills in real-world situations, they also practiced safe glove removal by dipping their gloved hands into a simulated stool mixture made from chocolate pudding, chocolate syrup, and strawberry jello. The challenge was to carefully remove their gloves without getting any of the substance on their skin, reinforcing the critical importance of hygiene and safety protocols in clinical practice.

The combination of fun and practical learning experiences not only made the lesson memorable but also equipped students with essential skills for their future careers in healthcare. Overall, it was a fantastic way to end the unit, highlighting the importance of safety and proper procedures in the medical field for these Brazosport students.
