A charge nurse is reinforcing teaching with a group of staff members about hand hygiene. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching? (Select All that Apply.)

A. Educating clients on proper hand hygiene promotes infection prevention and involves them in their own care, reducing the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). B. The statistic that one out of 40 clients obtains an HAI is inaccurate, as current evidence shows approximately 1 in 31 hospitalized clients acquire an HAI; using outdated or incorrect statistics can misinform staff. C. While historically handwashing compliance among staff has been low, stating that it is less than 50% is not universally accurate and varies by facility, so it should not be emphasized as a fact in teaching without up-to-date evidence. D. Hand hygiene is the most important step to prevent spreading infections, significantly reducing pathogen transmission in healthcare settings. E. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are effective for removing transient microorganisms when hands are not visibly soiled and are recommended as a convenient and efficient method of hand hygiene.
