Notes:
For patient care activities, the use of an antimicrobial agent containing Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) is recommended. CHG is active against a wide range of bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It also has been shown to leave a protective residual on the skin which helps to decrease the overall bacterial count found on the hands ….. That is good news for both you and your patients!
If you experience hand irritation, report to Occupational Health Services for evaluation and recommendations for alternative soap.
