The nurse improves the NAP's handwashing technique by providing feedback to increase the length of hand scrubbing to 15 to 30 seconds for thorough removal of microorganisms.The nurse finishes the feedback by directing the NAP to rinse the hands under running water without recontaminating them.Using warm,running water and soap effectively loosens microorganisms from the skin and rinses them off the hands.Drying hands from fingers to wrists is good technique because the hands are dried from the cleanest to the least clean area.Keeping the hands in a dependent position is good handwashing technique because it prevents hand contamination from water that touched the unwashed section of the arm.
