What is the most effective measure a nurse can take to prevent the spread of HAIs?
Performing hand hygiene before and after contact with clients
Wearing gloves and gowns during client care activities
Cleaning medical equipment after use
Isolating clients who display symptoms of infection
Proper hand hygiene is the single most effective way to prevent healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). This includes cleaning hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer at appropriate times, such as before and after client contact. While wearing gloves and gowns, cleaning equipment, and isolating infected clients are important, they address specific aspects of infection control. These measures are effective in conjunction with, but not as a substitute for, proper hand hygiene.
