C Remove the soiled sheet without exposure of skin or clothing to the sheet and rinse it in the patient's bathroom sink to dilute or remove as much feces as possible. A Use PPE to remove the sheet and place it in a pillowcase on the floor; then replace it with a clean sheet. B Contact don nonsterile gloves and gown, remove the soiled sheet, replace it with a clean one, and then dispose of the sheet in a plastic bag to prevent skin or clothing.
