Skin cleansing guidelines are changing - Be prepared

These changes are to make the guidelines more open to interpretation, as guidelines vary from facility to facility.

However, Clorox's white paper, entitled "Preoperative Skin Cleansing Focused on Patient Compliance" reveals evidence-based recommendations for "two chlorhexidine gluconate showers" and considerations for facilities to improve patient compliance.
