Action taken by the nurse while collecting a stool sample has the greatest impact on minimizing risk is : use of disposable gloves.

What care to be taken while collecting of stool sample?

While all the actions help prevent contact with the stool and thus help minimize the risk to the staff, use of disposable gloves has the greatest impact. Because it becomes a barrier against direct contamination of the skin by the stool.

The nurse must wear clean gloves and collect stool specimen and put it directly in a leak-proof container with a tight-fitting lid. If the patient is bedridden then collect the specimen in a clean dry bedpan. Now using a tongue blade, transfer it into a properly labeled container.
