   adjust its flow.
2. Wet hands, forearms and below thoroughly, holding
   them downward under the tap to allow the water to run toward the finger
   tips.
3. Apply enough soap on hands and forearms to make ga ood
   lather.
4. Rinse the soap cake and replace it in the soap dish.
5. Scrub each hand with the other, creating friction by
   interlacing the fingers and moving the hand back and forth. Continue
   scrubbing for 15-20 seconds, starting from the area around the finger nails
   and in between the fingers, the back of hands, the palm, the forearms and 2
   inches above the elbow. Clean nails by working them against the palms or
   with a nail brush or hand brush.
6. Rinse hands thoroughly, starting from the fingertips
   proceed through the forearms and elbow by holding them under the running
   water with the fingers above the elbow.

   fingers, wrist, forearms and the elbow.

   With a brush, if the hands are grossly contaminated, wash the brush under
   running water, immerse in the disinfectant.
2. A nail file is used to clean under the nails, if the
   Nails are dirty.

   tap to open or to close the tap, depending upon the area, whether it is
   clean or contaminated.

   for medical asepsis, because scrubbing may force some bacteria into the

   and dirt along with soap mechanically.

   Pour the water for hand washing.
