HESI RN EXIT PROCTORED EXAM
The nurse observes an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) washing hands prior to entering the client's room. Which action by the UAP requires additional teaching?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Holding hands below elbows when rinsing is a correct technique to prevent contamination of washed hands. B. Lathering using a circular movement is a correct technique for thorough handwashing. C. Washing for a total of 20 seconds is in line with the recommended duration for effective handwashing. D. Turning the water off using bare hands can potentially recontaminate the hands. Instead, a paper towel or elbow should be used to turn off the faucet after washing hands to prevent recontamination. Therefore, this action by the UAP requires additional teaching.
