I'm just curious on how you would do this task if the paper towel dispenser is manual, that is without the sensor or the pull down style.

[@AZMTI]

@eej2121 The State Board of Nursing requires us to do it this way and to use soap water for a certain amount of time.

[@richardrouton4669]

What a waste of paper and water!

[@AZMTI]

+Richard Routon The AZ state board of nursing requires our CNA students to show that they have clean hands. That requires paper... and water. It prevents the spread of infection. It's done that way for a reason. Thanks for your comment!

[@richse3]

I recently scrubbed in for a surgery and the surgeons taught me something completely opposite from what you did in this video. They said you want the fingertips to be the cleanest part so you rinse with the tips of your fingers pointed up and higher than your wrist. Why do you rinse in a way that your wrist stays cleaner than your hand?

This is a good video. Recently I had a friend that went into the hospital for surgery. A nurse walks into the room and changes a trash can liner. The patient asks the nurse to wash his hands. The nurse proceeds to tell the patient that the sink is most likely dirty compaired to the trash can in a sarcastic tone... the nurse touches the patients wounds and changes the IV. After the patient was released from the hospital... the patient becomes severely ill to the point a home nurse is sent for a NEW IV and antibiotics. The patient informs the hospital... but the hospital of course denies everything. I've looked at the business stat grade for my state... the feds gave the state a grade F / FAIL / as low as it can get. It does not surprise me.

It's ridiculous to me that different states have different standards.

[@stansystephen9963]

Watch and any form of ornaments have to be removed before handwashing.The steps were not sequential.

[@AZMTI]

@Streetslogic I haven't heard that before. Here in Arizona that is not taken into consideration for state board testing. Thanks for your comment. Ty

[@ericeaton5278]

Damn, it literally sounds like an alien abduction with headphones on

[@AZMTI]

@guitarexpert11 Yes, they are only available to our students and those who purchase the training videos through our eLearning Portal.

[@AZMTI]

@rasnickk Thanks for the feedback. Different states have different requirements and I can assure you that here in AZ all requirements for handwashing have been covered in this video. Be sure to follow your state's requirements when completing your certification. Ty

[@AZMTI]

@richse3 Thanks for the input. We would probably use a different technique as well prepping for surgery.

[@FadiNassar]

you not suppose to shake your hands just like you did at the beginning of the video + remove your watch and your ring for better hand washing...

[@AZMTI]

Thanks for the feedback. Remember, different states have different requirements and all steps in this video have been in accordance with proper CNA handwashing regulations for the state of Arizona.

[@killerklowns84]

I was curious as to why you changed the videos? Now, you cant view the training videos where it went step by step.

[@Streetslogic]

very good, presentation. Only thing i was thought different was that you never use the same side of the paper towel twice.

[@AZMTI]

@aammaall1980 Both good points, Thanks.

[@AZMTI]

@fatuma0909: Here in Arizona it is...

[@AZMTI]

@peachynat21 Thanks, good to know.

[@AZMTI]

@urborg74 I agree.

[@Yutunauta]

Never use the same side of the paper towel twise.

[@CNATrainingHelpdesk]

Well, quite a few people don't know how important simple skills like this one are.

[@AZMTI]

We agree! Hand washing is one of the most important skills and all too often it is forgotten.

[@samentha12345]

need more traning

[@AZMTI]
