A charge nurse is teaching a group of healthcare workers about hand hygiene to prevent infection. Which of the following information should the charge nurse include in the teaching?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Chlorhexidine is recommended for hand hygiene in immunocompromised patients due to its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Artificial nails should be avoided, not just trimmed. Soap and water are required for C. difficile, as alcohol-based rubs are ineffective. Hand hygiene before eye drops should ensure clean hands, with no specific preference for alcohol-based rubs.
