Which of the following is the most effective method for decontaminating your hands when they are visibly soiled with dirt, blood, or other body fluids?
Handwashing with soap and water is the most effective method for removing visible dirt, blood, or other body fluids from hands. It is important to properly clean hands in such circumstances to reduce the risk of transmitting infectious agents. Alcohol-based hand gel is an excellent method for decontaminating hands that are not visibly soiled, as it effectively reduces microbial counts on the skin, but it is not as effective in the presence of visible contaminants.
