Which of the following glove is of largest size?
Appeared in: AIIMS Delhi NO- 2019
Explanation
- Medical glove sizes are based on a numerical scale, where the number often corresponds to the circumference of the hand in inches.
- In this system, a higher number indicates a larger glove size.
- Comparing the options, 7.0 is numerically greater than 6.0 and 6.5.
- Therefore, the 7.0 glove is the largest among the choices provided.
Why Other Options Were Wrong
- Option A: A 6.0 glove is smaller than both 6.5 and 7.0 gloves. It would be appropriate for a person with a smaller hand circumference.
- Option B: A 6.5 glove is larger than a 6.0 glove but smaller than a 7.0 glove.
- Option D: This option is incorrect because there is a largest size available among the other options. Option C (7.0 glove) is clearly the largest.

Clinical Relevance
- Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Sizing of medical gloves as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
- Selecting the proper glove size is crucial for maintaining dexterity, tactile sensitivity, and barrier protection during clinical procedures.
- Gloves that are too small can tear easily, compromising sterility and increasing the risk of exposure to pathogens. They can also cause hand fatigue and restrict movement.
- Gloves that are too large can be clumsy, reduce sensitivity, and may slip off, also compromising the sterile field.
How to Approach the Question
- Identify the core question: The question asks to identify the largest glove size from the given numerical options.
- Recall the standard convention for medical glove sizing.
- Recognize that glove sizes are on a progressive scale, where a larger number means a larger glove.
- Compare the numerical values of the options: 6.0, 6.5, and 7.0.
- Determine that 7.0 is the highest number and therefore represents the largest size.
- Select the option corresponding to 7.0.
