I usually do physical exam without gloves, even though most of the residents use gloves, just out of habit. I always sanitize on entry. If there's any open wound or blood, I always wear gloves. I recently did a diabetic foot exam, and I'm wondering if I should have used gloves to make the patient feel more comfortable? He seemed kind of mentally checked out when I was doing the history/exam but idk if that's his personality or if I was making him feel uncomfortable by touching him with my bare hands.
