    No deficiency. We were deficiency free!

    This is how we learned in CNA class too.

    Sorry I hit post too soon, but we left the faucet running while washing our hands and turned it off with the paper towel that we dried our hands with.

    You should also use a towel to open the bathroom door and then throw it away outside the bathroom. There should be waste baskets outside the bathroom doors.

    I agree!!! You never know who didn't wash their hands!

    I think this is more common sense. It was mentioned to us in fundamentals in nursing school, but I already did it anyway. It defeats the purpose of washing your hands if you touch the faucet! That's why a lot of public places and in the hospital we have motion-sensored or foot pump sinks. That way you don't have to worry about turning off the faucet with your freshly cleaned hands!

    At least right at the door. You can open, hold with shoulder, dump towel.
