HAND HYGIENE RECOMMENDATIONS
HAND HYGIENE RECOMMENDATIONS It is now expected that all health care providers will perform hand hygiene before and after all patient encounters. Use of the alcohol hand rinse is an acceptable alternative to soap and water when hands are not visibly soiled. Soap and water must be used after potential exposure to Clostridium difficile. S&W Quality Council 2006
IT S ALL IN YOUR HANDS WASH THEM USE ALCOHOL HANDRINSE
