Key Points
Direct Instruction *
Standard Hand washing Procedure
I. According to OSHA standards regarding blood borne pathogens,

hand washing should be performed, at a minimum:
A. Before and after every patient contact
B. After removing gloves and other protective wear
C. After handling blood or other body fluids
D. When visibly contaminated with blood or tissues
E. Before leaving the patient area
F. Before and after eating, applying makeup, using the
bathroom, handling contact lenses, handling equipment
II. Importance of hand washing to reduce nosocomial
infections A. Required in any health care profession.
1. Reduces spread of disease from patient to patient
2. Reduces spread of disease from patient to health
care professional
3. Reduces spread of disease from health
care professional to patient
4. Reduces spread of disease from health
care professional to other health care
professionals
5. Reduce spread of disease to visitors in the
health care facility
III. Proper handwashing techniques include
A. Soap aids in the removal of pathogens.
B. Warm water
C. Friction
D. All surfaces of the hands must be cleaned –
palms, backs, between the fingers.
E. Nails must be cleaned.

water from getting on forearms and then

antimicrobial soap and water

decontaminating hands

(dirt, food, or other material) is visible on hands.
III. Benefits of waterless hand sanitizer:
A. require less time than hand washing
B. act quickly to kill microorganisms on hands
C. are more accessible than sinks
D. reduce bacterial counts on hands
E. do not promote antimicrobial resistance
F. are less irritating to skin than soap and water
G. some can even improve condition of skin
IV. Both components waterless hand sanitizer and
friction should be used increase effectiveness. Four
steps:
A. Make sure all organic matter is removed from
hands. All visible organic matter (for example:
