What should be done while rinsing hands in the proper handwashing procedure?

In the proper handwashing procedure, it is essential to maintain good hygiene practices throughout the entire process. Keeping the faucet running while using a paper towel to turn it off is an effective technique as it helps prevent recontamination of clean hands after washing. When hands are washed, they may still contain pathogens; thus, using a paper towel to shut off the faucet limits contact with potentially contaminated surfaces.

Turning off the faucet before rinsing could expose hands to germs that may be on the faucet handles, while rinsing hands without soap negates the benefits of the handwashing process entirely. Using both hands to rinse rather than focusing on specific techniques may not maximize the effectiveness of rinsing either. The emphasis is on maintaining cleanliness and minimizing contact with germ-laden surfaces.
