HI Kristin, I agree with Belinda. Its a difficult time for her but if you cannot perform correct HH then you cannot be clinical.

Hi Kristin
This is a challenging topic, however if the staff member is unable to comply with bare below the elbows and attend hand hygiene they are unable to undertake clinical care.

Hi all,
We have a fantastic RN who is required to wear a pressure stocking on her arm due to lymphedema from breast cancer.
We would love to assist her getting back to work but we have a question around hand hygiene?
I would appreciate your thoughts on this matter.
Kind regards
Kristin
