Demonstration simulation: A nurse performing IPC practices incorrectly
This demonstration highlights common gaps in IPC practices observed throughout the study, including:
- Using gloves in lieu of performing hand hygiene.
- Touching sterile gloves with dirty gloves, compromising an entire Foley catheter kit.
- Placing dirty linens on the bedside table, which is then used to place sterile supplies (i.e., Foley catheter kit).
