hand treatment
Hand sanitizing nurse
Any treatment of the hands of a nurse involves preparation and direct decontamination (removal of contaminants). The hands of a nurse must be well-groomed, without inflammation, burrs and microcracks.
Nails should be neatly trimmed and unvarnished. The skin edge of the nail bed should not be cut due to the risk of microtrauma and inflammation. Artificial nails on the hands of a nurse are unacceptable. Before the nurse's hands are processed for manipulation, wristwatches and jewelry must be removed.
