Nice clear visuals. Bit too basic on the blood pressure reading. For example, he cuffs these days are “calibrated”, meaning the markings on the cuff tell the person taking the reading if the cuff is too big or too small. You need to have the right size cuff, or your readings will be in error. You should fit the cuff to the individuals arm, and make sure all use the same size cuff, otherwise your reading won’t be comparable.

I agree with drudon , the nurse touched the tap after washing, she should have used either her elbow or with paper towel that she used in drying off her hands to turn off the tap, not her hand. Also she shouldn’t shake her hands after rinsing off as the water will bounce back to her hands and make them contaminated again. Poor technique

The nurse touched the tap again after washing her hands, this means that she re-contaminated her hands. If it was a real situation, you should use your elbow to turn the taps off so as not to re-contaminate!
