Paplating & Cold Hands

How do others deal with this? I was thinking work out gloves but that can look pretty silly.

Featured Replies

I have very cold hands, to help me with this when palpating pts, before i go to their bedside, i do the reg wash but then i let the water run over them for a little while longer nice warm water, then i go straight to the pt and palpation is first. I would think that workout gloves are material and therefor not a great idea for infection control. but i am not familiar with these gloves...no workouts for me:chuckle good luck and remember what they say...cold hands warm heart...
