Answer:

Taking the proper steps for placing on sterile gloves is vital to ensure that in procedures where total sterility is expected, and required, everything is done as it should be. If not, the patient will be placed in danger as the materials used will become contaminants.

As such, given the set of steps on the question, the order would be thus: 1. Place the sterile glove package on a clean, dry surface at or above your waist. This is considered a sterile region of the body. 2. Open the outside wrapper by carefully peeling the top layer back and remove the inner package, handling only the outside of it. 3. Place the inner package on the work surface with the side labeled "cuff end" closest to the body. 4. Carefully open the inner package. Fold open the flap, then the bottom and sides. 5. With the thumb and forefinger of the dominant hand, grasp the folded cuff of the glove for the dominant hand, touching only the exposed inside of the glove. 6. Keeping the hands above the waistline, lift and hold the glove up and off the inner package with fingers down. 7. Carefully insert dominant hand palm up into the glove and pull it on.

All of these steps in order ensure that there is little to no exposure of the sterible glove with any surface that might contaminate it, including the lower regions of the body, which are in themselves considered dirty. Placing the dominant hand in the glove first helps so that when the less dominant hand comes, the other one can lead the process and ensure sterility is maintained.

How should you use a heart rate monitor
12345 [234]
 Measure your heart rate before, during and after work outs and write it down. Monitors can be worn as a strap across the chest, on the wrist and even on the head, and by measuring your heart rate can help you exercise at the right intensity. Most don't have a display, so you'll need to connect your monitor with a sports watch or smartphone app to see your heart rate.
