洗手是控制院內感染最有效且最簡單的方法。標準預防措施（Standard Precautions）要求在接觸病人前後皆須執行手部衛生，這是中斷接觸傳播鏈最關鍵的環節。其他選項如戴手套或用個別聽診器是輔助手段，但無法取代洗手的重要性。
Performing hand hygiene between client contacts is the single most effective method to prevent the transmission of microorganisms and break the chain of infection. While other precautions like gowns or gloves are important, they do not replace the fundamental necessity of proper hand cleansing.
