Describe how to perform hand-washing.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. Wash your hands using antiseptic liquid soap and warm water to make a lather, and then scrub each finger and the front and back of each hand with a circular motion. Rinse, keeping hands lower than elbows so that water flows from the cleaner area toward the dirtier area. The washing process should last for at least 1 to 2 minutes. Dry hands with a paper towel, from the fingers (cleanest area) to the wrists (least clean area).
