He imposed a new rule mandating handwashing with chlorine for doctors. Once this rule was in place the death rates in his maternity ward decreased dramatically (GHP, 2017). ]]> 2022-04-22 23:38:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jordannjones/du5rpn7s2r2uu9s1/wish/2154219324 jordannjones https://padlet.com/jordannjones/du5rpn7s2r2uu9s1/wish/2154239248 During the Crimean War, Nightingale also implemented handwashing and multiple other hygiene practices in the hospital she was working at in order to fight off infections. Her safe hygiene practices and no-nonsense behavior led to the hospital's death rate being reduced by two-thirds (NIH, 2020). ]]> 2022-04-23 00:19:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jordannjones/du5rpn7s2r2uu9s1/wish/2154239248 jordannjones https://padlet.com/jordannjones/du5rpn7s2r2uu9s1/wish/2154261499 2022-04-23 01:10:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jordannjones/du5rpn7s2r2uu9s1/wish/2154261499 jordannjones https://padlet.com/jordannjones/du5rpn7s2r2uu9s1/wish/2154267153 In 1876, the German scientist Robert Koch discovered the anthrax bacillus which lead to additional research around medical bacteriology, and cholera, tuberculosis, diphtheria, and typhoid bacilli were identified. Due to these highly contagious diseases being known, many individuals began to take hand hygiene and washing seriously. 
During the late 1800s, a British surgeon named Joseph Lister pioneered antiseptic surgery, which also included consistent handwashing use (Fleming, 2020). ]]> 2022-04-23 01:23:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jordannjones/du5rpn7s2r2uu9s1/wish/2154267153 jordannjones https://padlet.com/jordannjones/du5rpn7s2r2uu9s1/wish/2154286380 Finally, when a string of food borne outbreaks and healthcare-associated infection led to public concern in the 1980's the CDC identified hand hygiene as an important way to prevent the spread of infection and nationally endorsed hand hygiene guidelines for individuals to follow (Strochlic, 2020). ]]> 2022-04-23 02:01:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jordannjones/du5rpn7s2r2uu9s1/wish/2154286380 jordannjones https://padlet.com/jordannjones/du5rpn7s2r2uu9s1/wish/2154288322 1. Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap, and apply soap. 
2. Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Lather the back of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails. 
3. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Use a timer or hum the "Happy Birthday" song from beginning to end twice. 
4. Rinse your hands well under clean, running water. 
5. Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them.

- This day serves as a daily reminder that handwashing with soap and water is one of the best steps we can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. 

-Handwashing is so important, especially at key times such as after using the bathroom, when preparing food, before eating, and after coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose.
