A Case of Unwashed Hands

You entered the women’s lounge and noticed a fellow worker also there. After using the toilet, that individual walked to the door to leave the area without first washing her hands. You said, “Hey, Judy! You must have a lot on your mind this morning. You were heading out without washing your hands before returning to work. I know you know how important proper hand washing is and would want to be reminded.” Preventing harm through speaking up reflects an ethical value.
