Answer to Question 1

C
CDC guidelines dictate that for visibly dirty hands, the individual should cleanse the hands either with a non-antimicrobial soap and water or with antimicrobial soap and water. The technique described in this answer indicates a need for further teaching.
Cleansing the hands with warm water and antimicrobial soap is appropriate after dealing with blood or body fluids (or both); no further teaching is required.
Cleansing the hands with hand gel is appropriate for a nurse who is just passing out water. Also, nothing indicates that the patient is on contact precautions. No further teaching is required.
Students can appropriately cleanse their hands with an alcohol-based rub prior to obtaining a blood pressure; no further teaching is required.
