Hand Washing : About the Hand Washing Technique for Nurses

[METH3454]

Totally Wrong you are supposed to turn the faucet off with 2 separate dry towels !

[gwennroxcyzane]

haha you should go back to grade school ..oh grade school students are more good in handwashing than you let em teach you lols

[bitsandbobs786]

What has happened to wetting hands before applying soap? The ring is, in her own words, a 'NO NO' and using one towel for both hands? She also uses the paper towel on her wrists first and then goes back to her fingers....

[shiesz]

i am also destructed with the ring. No ring please.

[BOY6035]

what about the ring?...we should remove it..ryte?...

[rileyzane911]

your dumb.your doing it all wrong

[KARENWURZ]

Am.....WRONG!! 

[prashant1987ful]

who has to remove your jewellery re..

[machacoification]

if a student nurse washes her or his hands in this way they are out of the class and sent back to year one.... You should remove this video otherwise we think Ehow is not a reliable source of information.

[onlyone365]

This is medically incorrect....scrub with soap(lather)for about 15-20 sec. then rinse in the water and when its time to turn off the water you need to use another clean paper towel after your hands are dry. And jewelry OFF!!

[jimmie200]

You say hand washing is so important yet you do not use but one pump of soap, you immediatey rinse off the little soap you use and you do not lather up your hands and scrub them for at least 15 seconds. You didn't purposely scrub around your ring, either. You did not use enough paper towels to sufficiently dry your hands. This is an incorrect way to wash your hands for patient care.

[M4DNUS]

40 years in health care and she still can't wash her hands properly!!!

[primacareqc]

this is so wrong

[youtub415]

whats with the ring? I have watched lots of videos and the ring is almost always present. Rings can get snagged and rip the gloves especially metal-on-metal. Whats with that? It should be a standard to remove those rings.

[fornow100000]

yes. take off your jewelry

[maritoskadi]

ummm.... isnt she supposed to lather up? and besides that she used the same 1 paper towel for everything. u're supposed to use a different one for each hand and then one more to turn off the water. once a paper towel is wet, there is no more barrier between the microorganisims on the handles n to ur clean hands...

[Temmy52]

Am sorry but this video is not helpful, am definitely not going to do this in my exam or else I will fail she did not even follow the six steps rules.

[BeachBoysGuy1]

It's also 'scrube them WELL" NOt ' GOOD"

You are supposed to be an educated professional

[BeachBoysGuy1]

you would have flunked in Hawaii. You turned the hot water on first and used no paper towel to do so. You said nothing about cuticles. Plus you have a condescending attitude. sorry

[SuperMongeese]

Your allowed to keep your wedding ring(s) on! So long as you wash them too...like twist them around as you wash your hands so they are clean.

[elmerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

if im not mistaken the first procedure is that you should take off first all your jewelry,,,,,,,,,jewelry harbors microorganisms...... useless.......

[qhslau]

she should take off that ring.
