✋ Today is Global Handwashing Day
Hand hygiene is the first—and most powerful—step in preventing infections.

But good habits need good systems.

🧼 Did you know terminal cleaning isn’t just a deeper clean—it’s a frontline defence against HAIs?
Terminal cleaning is the final disinfection of a room after a patient is discharged.

It ensures surfaces, equipment, and even privacy curtains are reset—safely—for the next person who walks through the door.

And with Varidyn’s ready-to-use disinfectants and easy-change curtains, it’s easier than ever to do it right.

It's that time again! Test Question Tuesday!

Here we go! Take your best guess and let us know below!

It is best-practice to establish a strong working relationship with your supply manager because…
a. He will be cleaning patient rooms.
b. She will be unpacking all the cardboard, which is an infection risk.
c. The manager will help you with standardizing products, which is good practice for saving your facility money and reducing product variability (which can prevent HAI).
d. The product/supply manager often gets samples from vendors and can help you distribute them to clinicians.

We know that have anxiety when studying for the exam, so we write questions to help meet this challenge.

What two words describe us best?...

Variable. Dynamic. Hence: Varidyn :)

We are a small group of professionals who serve; visiting healthcare organizations, listening to challenges you're facing, and rising to solve those challenges.

We'd be grateful if you'd just "share" or "repost" this to help your IP colleagues!

Ok - here's this week's question:

Ready or not....It's time for Test Question Tuesday!

Here we go...The IP gets a visit from a Nursing Leader and an HR representative. There is a Nurse who is pregnant, and that Nurse is worried about having to care for a patient who has CMV (cytomegalovirus). The HR rep and Nurse Leader want the IP to weigh-in with subject-matter expertise. The IP says:

A. Focus on discharging the patient to create a safe environment for the Nurse.
B. The Nurse probably already has antibodies from past exposure in her life.
C. Try to avoid having the nurse care for this patient, but if necessary, she can - just wear appropriate PPE & use good work practices.
D. The nurse must NOT care for this patient.

What's your best guess? Let us know below 👇

Make sure to check back Thursday around this time to see the answer! Sharing is caring. Share this post with your friends and have them take their best guess, too!
