Question

Beginning with first step on top, list the steps in order for applying antiseptic.

Answer 1

To apply antiseptic, follow these four steps: wet your hands, apply soap and rub it for 20 seconds, rinse thoroughly, and dry your hands.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Wet your hands with clean, running water.
2. Apply about 5 mL (1 teaspoon) of liquid soap and rub it all over the hands for at least 20 seconds, making sure to wash commonly missed areas such as the thumb, wrist, areas between the fingers, and under the fingernails.
3. Rinse your hands thoroughly, allowing the water to flow from the wrist to the fingertips.
4. Dry your hands thoroughly with a clean towel or hot air blower, using a towel to turn off faucets and open the bathroom door.
