If food-service staff do not follow the hand-washing process, what is the dietitian’s role?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Provide hand-hygiene training and monitor compliance
Hand washing helps prevent transfer of pathogens from staff to food and protects patients and other consumers. The dietitian should teach the correct procedure, check that soap and suitable facilities are available, observe practice, document compliance, and arrange corrective follow-up. A warning alone is not a sustainable control measure.
