This CDC infographic demonstrates the proper technique of both applying and removing proper PPE in a healthcare setting. This resource is perfect for both visual learners and those who learn best by reading since it provides both text and images. If supplies are available, it would be helpful for the teacher to demonstrate the correct donning and doffing of PPE for the class. Next, students can practice donning and doffing PPE as they explore the infographic. Then to review the content, student volunteers can demonstrate donning and doffing PPE in front of the class, intentionally leaving out a step or two. The class would see if they can catch what the demonstrator did incorrectly. This activity is a great knowledge check.

Ever wonder what happens to those vials of blood drawn at the hospital for your lab work? What about when you have a swollen, red, raw throat? Who runs those tests that the doctor orders? What is involved in running those tests? Here is where we dive into the world of the Clinical Laboratory Scientist (CLS).

This website is great for teaching students to recognize signs, symbols, and labels related to safety. The website provides pictures and descriptions of physical safety symbols, fire safety symbols, first-aid symbols, hazard symbols, radiation hazard symbols, and other symbols. As an interactive activity, students should make flashcards as they navigate the website. The front side of the flashcard could have a picture or drawing of the symbol, and the backside could have a description of its meaning. The goal of this activity is to familiarize students with safety symbols, labels, and signs that they may encounter in a medical setting, so they can recognize them and stay safe in their future healthcare jobs. As a supplemental activity, students could use the scenario worksheet linked in the WISELearn description (answer key provided). Students could also complete a scavenger hunt around the school's science laboratories to find safety symbols. If a science lab is not available, then teachers could print pictures of medical settings, and students can identify all the signs, symbols, and labels in the pictures. Another supplemental activity could be doing the flyswatter review game; pictures of the signs, symbols, and labels would be printed and taped to the board. Teachers would read descriptions to two students with flyswatters, and they race to identify the correct symbol.
