Handwashing III: During the Procedure and Post-Procedure Steps01:15

Handwashing III: During the Procedure and Post-Procedure Steps

To wash hands properly, follow these steps:
Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers01:16

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers

The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi radialis,...
Hand hygiene01:23

Hand hygiene

Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Handwashing II: Pre-procedure and Initial Procedure Steps01:19

Handwashing II: Pre-procedure and Initial Procedure Steps

The pre-procedure steps of handwashing include removing jewelry and rolling up sleeves. However, many organizations allow staff to wear wedding rings.
The hand washing procedure itself includes the following steps. First, cover cuts, if any, on hands with a waterproof dressing. Cuts and abrasions can become contaminated with bacteria hindering the ability to clean the area thoroughly. In addition, repeated hand washing can worsen an injury.  The nails must be short and clean, without nail paint...
Assessment of radial pulse01:11

Assessment of radial pulse

Assessment of Radial Pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
Pre-Procedural Guidelines for Assessing Blood Pressure01:10

Pre-Procedural Guidelines for Assessing Blood Pressure

Accurate blood pressure assessment is crucial for diagnosing and managing various health conditions. To ensure the reliability of these measurements, healthcare professionals must adhere to standardized pre-procedural guidelines. These guidelines enhance patient safety and improve the overall quality of healthcare. The following steps are essential for obtaining accurate and consistent blood pressure readings, from using the appropriate tools to ensuring effective communication with the patient.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology
  • Body ownership illusions

Background:

  • The rubber hand illusion (RHI) demonstrates how the brain integrates sensory information to create a sense of body ownership.
  • Previous RHI studies typically kept both the real and rubber hands on the same side of the body's midline.
  • The influence of the body midline on RHI perception remains largely unexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how crossing the body midline affects the strength of the rubber hand illusion.
  • To determine if crossing the real hand, fake hand, or both across the midline impacts RHI.
  • To examine the role of the body's midline in spatial representations of the limbs.

Main Methods:

  • Simultaneous synchronous stroking of the participant's real hand and a rubber hand.
  • Experimental conditions included uncrossed hands, real hand crossed, fake hand crossed, and both hands crossed over the body midline.
  • Asynchronous stroking served as a control condition.
  • Participants localized their real hand's position by marking a location on paper.

Main Results:

  • A significant rubber hand illusion was observed when both hands remained uncrossed.
  • The RHI was abolished when either the real or the rubber hand was crossed over the body midline.
  • Crossing the real hand induced a spatial bias, shifting perceived location towards the body's midline.

Conclusions:

  • The body midline plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity of body ownership illusions like the RHI.
  • Spatial representations of the limbs are sensitive to their position relative to the body's midline.
  • These findings contribute to understanding the neural mechanisms underlying body representation and spatial awareness.
