Abstract
Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) baths are critical for infection prevention, yet many nurses lack proper education and resources on their use. This project identified best practices for CHG bathing and developed an educational brochure for nurses on a medical-surgical floor. The brochure provides clear guidelines on timing, safety, and patient teaching to promote consistent, evidence-based care.
