SPEECH 1100--SHELL OUTLINE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Attention Getter: Each year, 40 million Americans get sick and 80,000 die from bacteria that were transmitted by not handwashing properly. It is also estimated that one out of every three people do not wash their hands after using the restroom.

Thesis Statement: Proper Handwashing has 3 main steps

Significance Statement: You carry millions of microbes on your hand. Good old fashioned hand washing is one of the oldest and most powerful antibacterial treatments. Without proper handwashing, we can still spread many microorganisms with our hands.

Credibility Statement: I work as a Certified Nursing Assistant at a hospital. I'am required to wash my hands frequently and throughly numerous times throughout my shift.

Preview of Main Points:

First: Wet hands

Second: Apply Soap

Third: Rinse hands/ Dry

I. Wet hands

A. Remove all jewelry. Turn on sink.

B. Wet hands with warm running water before applying soap

TRANSITION SENTENCE: Now that you have wet your hands with the warm running water. It's time to move onto the next step. Applying the soap.

II. Apply Soap

A. Apply a dime sized amount of soap to hands. Lather soap for about 15 to 20 seconds, equivulant to singing "Happy Birthday".

B. Wash all surfaces including the back of your hands, around and below the fingernails, around your wrists, and in between your fingers.

TRANSITION SENTENCE: Finally, the last step is the most important. Rinsing off the soap you just scrubbed your hands with. As well as properly drying the hands to complete the process.

III. Rinse/ Dry

A. Rinse hands under warm water, making sure they are faced downwards. Avoid touching inside of sink, otherwise the process has to be restarted. Also stay clear of "flicking" your hands after rinsing. This can spread bacteria.

B. Dry hands with a clean, dry towel. Turn off sink with a clean, dry towel when finished.
