Questions and Answers 100% Pass

Why are the hands rinsed with the fingertips held lower than the wrist? - ANSWER✔✔-

Water flows from the least to the most contaminated area, rinsing microorganisms into

the sink




The hands and forearms are kept lower than the elbows, and the fingertips are kept

lower than the wrists during washing to promote the flow of water from the least to the

most contaminated area, rinsing microorganisms into the sink. Use of an adequate

amount of detergent and vigorous lathering and rubbing of the hands together for an

appropriate length of time (at least 10 to 15 seconds) ensure that all surfaces of the

hands and fingers are covered and cleansed. Friction and rubbing mechanically loosen

and remove dirt and transient bacteria.

indwelling urinary catheters, peripheral vascular catheters, or other invasive devices.

You should perform hand hygiene after contact with a patient's intact skin (e.g., after

assessing a patient's vital signs or moving a patient in bed). Unless the hands are visibly

soiled, it is unnecessary to perform hand hygiene after documentation. If you touch an

object that is not visibly soiled, such as clean linens, hand washing is unnecessary at

that time.


You are washing your hands in a sink with hand faucets. You first turn on the water

and regulate the temperature to warm. You increase the water pressure to create a

strong spray. You wet your hands, apply 5 mL of soap, and rub your hands together

vigorously, creating lather. You interlace your fingers and rub the palms and backs of

the hands with a circular motion at least five times each. You keep your hands

positioned with fingertips down and rinse the hands and wrists thoroughly. You turn
