A colleague, PSW, attended to a resident with emesis, came out together from the room, I went straight to the washroom to wash my hands, and she went to another room after doffing the PPE without washing her hands and said the call bell is escalating, “I need to quickly attend to the resident before the calls get to management.” I told her the importance of hand washing, but she dashed to the room and attended to the resident. When I resumed the following night, I learnt the resident had been sent to the hospital due to emesis 3X with diarrhea.
I reported to my DOW, and she organized an in-house workshop on handwashing.
