Why handwashing is required before and after wound care. 

# data[].attributes.body
Before: Always wash your hands before you touch or prepare any wound care supplies. This removes germs from your hands, ensuring they are clean before you begin the procedure and preventing the introduction of new bacteria into the wound. Even if you plan to wear gloves, you must still wash your hands first.

After: Wash your hands immediately after you have completed the wound care procedure and removed any gloves. This is necessary to remove any pathogens that may have been on the used dressing or wound site, protecting both you and the surrounding environment from contamination.

proper steps to ensure hands are thoroughly cleaned?To thoroughly clean hands, wet them with clean running water, apply soap, and rub your hands together to create a lather for at least 20 seconds, ensuring you scrub the backs of your hands, between fingers, and under nails. Then, rinse your hands well under clean running water and dry them completely with a clean towel or air dryer.
