Action
1. Gather the necessary supplies. Stand in front of the sink.Do not allow your clothing to touch the sink during the washing procedures.
Rational
The sink is considered contaminated. Clothing may carry organisms from place to placertain.
2.remove jewellery if possible and secure in a safe place. A plain wedding band may remain in place.
Remove of jewelry facilities proper cleansing. Microorganisms may accumulates in setting of jewelry was worn during care.It should be left on during hand-washing.
3.Turn on water and adjust force.regulate the temperature until the water is warm.
Water splashed from the contaminated sink will contaminate clothing. Warm water is more comfortable and is less likely to open pores and remove oils from the skinew. Organism can lodge in roughened and broken areas of chapped skin.
4.wet the hands and wrist area.keep hands lower than elbows to allow water to flow toward fingertips.
Water should flow from the cleaner area towards the more contaminated area.hands are more contaminated than forearms.
5.use about it teaspoon liquid soap from dispenser or rinse bar of soap and lather thoroughly. Cover all areas of hands with the soap products. Rinse soap bar again and return to soap rack without touching the rack.
Rinsing the soap before and after use removes the lather which
May contain microorganisms.
6.with firm rubbing and circular motions wash the plans and backs of the hands,each finger,the areas between the fingerst and the knuckles, wrists and forearms. Wash at least 1 inch above area of contamination. If hands are not visibly soiled wash to 1 inch above the wrists.
Fractions caused by firm rubbing and circular motions helps to loosen dirt and organisms that can lodge between the fingers in skin crevices of knuckles on the palms and backs of the hands and on the wrists and forearms.cleaning less contact taminated areas after hands are clean prevents spreading microorganisms from the hands to the forearms and wrist.
7.continue this friction motion for at least 20 secondso.
Length of hand washing is determined by degree of contamination.hands that are visibly soiled need a longer scrub.
8.use fingernails of the opposite hand or a clean orangewood stick to clean under fingernails.
Area under nails has a high microorganisms count and organisms maye remain under the nails where they can grow and be spread to other persons.
9.Rinse thoroughly with water flowing towards fingertips
Running water rinses microorganisms and dirt into the sink
10.part hands dry with a paper towel beginning with the fingers and moving upwards towards forearms and discardry it immediately .use another clean towel to turn off the faucet .discard towel immediately without touching other clean hand.
Patting the skin dry prevents chapping.Dry hands first because they are considered the cleanest and least contaminated area.hands. turning the faucet off with a clean paper towel protect thenna clean hands from contact with a soiled surface.
Conclusion;
Studies how the bacteria that cause hospital acquired infection are frequently spread from patient to patient by health care workers hands many research support that proper hand washing before and after having contract with patients is the one most important measures for preventing the spread of infection in health care settings.
