Abstract
Hand hygiene is a practical, affordable, acceptable, reliable, and effective strategy to mitigate nosocomial infection risks in hospitals. Here we provide an image of clinical medicine that documents a potential error related to hand sanitizer dispenser malfunction. An awareness of this adverse event can lead to immediate modifiable changes in healthcare settings to reduce the risks of nosocomial infections.
