The nurse observing the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)using alcohol-based rubs for hand hygiene would recognize that further teaching is required when the UAP performs which act?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Drying hands with a paper towel is not part of the proper technique for using alcohol-based hand rubs. The hands should be allowed to air dry completely after applying the product. Therefore, further teaching is required for the UAP in this regard. Rubbing palm against palm, applying a palmful of product into cupped hands, and interlacing fingers palm to palm are all correct steps in the proper technique for using alcohol-based hand rubs.
