The document discusses guidelines for hand hygiene and glove use in nursing skills laboratories. It emphasizes the importance of hand hygiene, including washing or rubbing with alcohol-based rubs, upon entering the lab and before and after procedures involving significant patient contact or contact with soiled instruments. Hand rubs are highlighted as more effective at reducing bacteria than washing, though washing is still recommended if hands are visibly soiled. Adherence to proper hand hygiene and use of gloves is crucial for infection control in clinical skills practice.
