Verified step by step guidance

Understand the importance of infection control in clinical settings: The first action a nurse should take before any physical examination is to ensure proper hygiene to prevent the spread of infection.

Recognize that handwashing is a fundamental step in maintaining patient safety and adhering to standard precautions in healthcare environments.

Identify that hand hygiene should be performed thoroughly using soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, following the recommended guidelines for duration and technique.

Consider that handwashing is a preparatory step that ensures the nurse is ready to proceed with other aspects of the physical examination, such as asking the client to change into a gown or documenting vital signs.

Understand that skipping handwashing could compromise the safety of the client and the nurse, making it a priority action before any other steps in the physical examination process.
