Higiene de las Manos

Lavarse las manos correctamente es una forma fácil de ayudar a evitar enfermarse.

¿Por qué lavarse?


Los gérmenes se ocultan en todas partes - manijas de puertas, manijas de grifos, controles remotos y cualquier superficie que la gente toque.
  • "En los Estados Unidos, los pacientes de hospital se contagian con casi dos millones de infecciones cada año. Es una infección por cada 20 pacientes!" (Fundación de Centros para el Control y Prevención de Enfermedades).

¿Cuándo lavarse?


  • Antes y después de comer
  • Antes de dar medicamentos
  • Después de usar el baño o de cambiar pañales
  • Después de tocar llagas, cortes o áreas infectadas
  • Después de jugar con cualquier animal
  • Después de jugar/trabajar a la intemperie
  • Después de toser, estornudar o sonarse

¿Cómo lavarse?


  • Humedezca sus manos con agua limpia.
  • Aplique jabón.
  • Frote las manos juntas vigorosamente y refriegue todas las superficies.
  • Refriegue durante 15 segundos (tratar de cantar Twinkle Twinkle Little Star).
  • Enjuague con agua limpia.
  • Seque las manos.

¿Qué sucede si no puedo lavar?


Si las manos no están visiblemente sucias, utilice un desinfectante de manos a base de alcohol, sin agua en los ingredientes.
  • Aplicar una cantidad del tamaño de una moneda pequeña de desinfectante de mano sin agua en los ingredientes.
  • Frotar las manos juntas refregando todas las superficies de las manos y dedos.
  • Frotar hasta que las manos estén secas (generalmente unos 15 segundos).
