    Personal protective equipment (PPE) is used to shield healthcare providers from hazards when caring for contaminated patients. PPE is categorized into four levels based on the type of protection provided - Level A provides the highest protection with a self-contained breathing apparatus and vapor-tight suit, while Level D requires only a typical work uniform. Proper donning and doffing of PPE is important to safely care for patients while protecting oneself from exposure to chemical, physical, biological, or radiologic dangers.
