Dietary personnel is wearing gloves(same glovesin all patient rooms) to deliver patient food trays
Hello, my name is _________and this unit is a part of a Joint Commission‐sponsored hand hygiene project. As a part of this project I am questioning staff in order to understand the barriers to hand hygiene in the clinicalsetting. I noticed that you are wearing gloves while passing out food trays and that you’re wearing the same gloves as you enter each patient room. Would you please explain why you’re wearing gloves? [Wait for answer.]
Did you know that using gloves is not necessary when delivering clean trays to patient rooms, but that washing your hands at room entry and exit is recommended? What barriers to hand washing do you face when delivering food trays?
