酒精乾洗手液（Alcohol-based hand rub）是醫療照護中清潔手部的首選，因為其便利且殺菌效果優於肥皂洗手。然而，其限制在於無法移除芽孢（如 C. difficile）或肉眼可見的污垢（如血液、糞便）。進入病房前使用是為了保護病人免受來自護理師手部的外源性污染，這屬於預防院內感染的標準作業流程。
Alcohol-based hand rub is the preferred method for hand hygiene in health care because it is convenient and has better bactericidal efficacy than soap and water. However, its limitations are that it cannot remove spores (such as C. difficile) or visible soil (such as blood or feces). Using it before entering a patient room protects the patient from exogenous contamination carried on the nurse's hands and is a standard practice for preventing healthcare-associated infections.
