Wet Dry Hand
Prevent the Spread of Influenza by Practicing Proper Hand Hygiene by Rachel Smith
According to the Hand Hygiene Resource Center lack of proper hand washing causes roughly 90,000 deaths each year. This is because only 40% of the population washes their hands correctly. The Hand Hygiene Resource Center also reports that according to a study done in a hospital babies caught staphylococci more often when taken care of by a group of nurses who didn’t wash their hands frequently verse a group of nurses who did wash their hands frequently. There have been many instances where it has been proven that proper washing of the hands reduces the spread of bacteria.
The times when it is most important to wash your hands are when they are noticeably dirty and especially immediately after you use the bathroom and prior to eating. For best results, first wet your hands and then apply and rub the soap into your hands. You should make sure the soap saturates all areas of skin on your hands. Once you rinse the soap off use paper towel instead of your bare hand to turn the water off in order to not acquire any more germs from the faucet handle.
The Center for Disease Control now recommends the use of hand sanitizer in health care settings in addition to frequent hand washing. They recommend that health care workers wash their hands and sanitize between each patient contact. To properly apply the sanitizer you should use an amount similar to the size of a silver dollar and apply it to the palm of your writing hand. Continue to spread the formula over the surface of your hands, rubbing it in so that you do not miss any areas. Keep rubbing it in for twenty to thirty seconds. Do not continue working before your hands have dried completely.
Whether you work in a hospital, take care of children or spend your days working in an office proper hand hygiene is the number one way to prevent the spread of illness. Most germs that cause illness are contracted on the hand and result in illness due to hand to mouth contact. Another important part of proper hand hygiene is not to touch your mouth and eyes with your hands.
