Medical Assistant Prep / Unit 7 MAS 159 short lesson, about 20 seconds
When to Clean Your Hands
Captions available
The idea
Clean your hands at specific moments in every encounter.
In practice
Clean them before touching a patient, before an aseptic task, and before moving from a soiled body site to a clean one; clean them after touching a patient or their surroundings, after contact with body fluids, and right after removing gloves.
Where people slip
The moment after glove removal is the most often missed.
