Feelings : Hand Hygiene is the simplest and most effective way to prevent the
spread of infections. I feel as a nurse it is important to always do hand washing before carrying
out doctor’s order. For instance, the order is dressing. After identification of patient is made and
checking of doctor’s order, I will start by washing my hands before the dressing and after the
procedure. By doing this, I will be able to lessen the transfer of infections to the patient.
Evaluation : Direct observation as displayed by other staff doing the hand hygiene.
Identify opportunities for hand hygiene and record if the staff nurse is doing the proper technique
Analysis : Contaminated hands transmit germs via direct contact with patient or
patient’s immediate environment.
Conclusion : Infection prevention and control can be achieved thru proper hand
washing.
