I am a nursing student and I'd like to correct you that the sink itself is contaminated so you really have to be away from the sink. Your uniform cannot touch the contaminated sink. When it comes to the rinsing part, the water should run from the least contaminated area and the hands are more contaminated than the lower arms. The inside of the sink is considered itself as contaminated. You didn't rinse your hands thoroughly starting from the elbow moving down to your arms. You could've prevented the microbes from the most contaminated part to the least. Also, the rolling of sleeves must be above the elbows. 😊
It always amazes me how as a physical therapist , I watch a video like this and get so mad that she’s “ teaching “ her so called proper 7 step technique yet misses some of the most important parts . This is how we contaminate our patients ... then I watch Healrh care professionals go around all day just using the lazy alcohol “ hand sanitizers “!!!! Not realizing that water and soap are THE best way unless one has NO access to soap and water . she just taught people how to contaminate themselves . She also forgot about the part about her jewelry !!!! don’t wear jewelry to work , clip your nails ... it’s common sense !!
You need to wash your ring 💍 too or you scouts have kept it on and wash it while washing your hands if you ring is contaminated you’re going to put it back on what is it good washing your hands?
From the daughter of an RN, the granddaughter of a WW II Medic and the stepdaughter of a surgeon: One thing nobody is teaching is unbelievable to me. When you go to surgery you scrub under and rinse those nails!! NOBODY ON RU-vid OR TV BRINGS UP GETTING UNDER THE NAILS OR KEEPING THEM TRIMMED AS LOW AS IS COMFORTABLE. This is not the time for manicures and long nails. Try getting out in the dirt in your garden and you'll see later just how much work it takes to get the dirt out of the creases and under your nails even with a great nail brush. Imagine the virus and bacterial particulate matter that is invisible to the naked eye. It's also not about how LONG--though that is important. It's about getting every single place as well and rinsing thoroughly.
I have a brother that will not wash his hands after the bathroom. There is no amount of convincing I can do. He’s an adult and it makes me sick. What can I do?
By touching the uniform with dirty unwashed hands the viral or bacteria transfer inadvertently to the material. I wash as much as possible and then roll up.
Exactly, I bet that ring has dozens of germs on. Never gets washed, that’s why I always clean my rings everyday and I’m not even a nurse, even if I’ve stopped in the house I clean my rings and wash my hands before and after. I’m a hygiene professional
Hands should be lower than your elbows when rinsing. And turning off the faucet with your bare hands is a big NO. You should use hand towel or paper towel.
This video is not the correct way for a nurse to be washing their hands, it should be strict hygiene and washing them for 2 minutes and using separate paper towels. But a normal person who doesn’t work in a germ environment all day, that’s the correct way to wash their hands
It’s not recommend shaking your hands everywhere as it can also spread lots of germs off your hands before you dry them, it’s recommend shaking your hands onto a towel and then drying them. That will shake most of the germs off your hands, but you don’t want to shake them off your hands on the bathroom floor or door do you?
Pinoy.. Ako po ay isang Nursing student sa Pilipinas, nanggaling rin po ako sa Saudi. ayun. maganda po ang video na ginawa ninyo.. kasi nakakatulong saaming mga BSN dito. haha!
@Brey Reneea In some cases your right, but nurses like this especially during covid should wash their hands for 2 minutes and you should wash them for 2 minutes if you’ve visited or came into contact with something what has lots of germs. But if you’ve only been out shopping, 20 seconds will do and kill most germs and bacteria on your hands
