Abstract:
Proper handwashing procedure for hospital staff is demonstrated by a uniformed nurse. After the hands and forearms have been washed and rinsed, the fingernails are cleaned with a toothpick, and a lotion is rubbed on the hands to prevent irritation. Handwashing in hospitals is an important step in limiting the spread of pathogens, especially staphylococcus.
