Final answer:

In the final step of hand-washing, the fingers should be rinsed with water.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the final step of hand-washing, the fingers should be rinsed with water.

According to the CDC handwashing recommendations, after lathering your hands with soap and scrubbing them for at least 20 seconds, you should rinse your hands thoroughly with clean, running water. The water should flow from the wrist to the fingertips to ensure that any microorganisms are washed off the skin and not up onto the arms.
