The recently revised Guideline for Hand Hygiene recommends that healthy, short, natural fingernails should be maintained.
Moderate-quality evidence and guidance from health agencies and professional societies support that health care personnel should maintain healthy, natural fingernails at a short length. Unhealthy, or long fingernails may impede the removal of microorganisms from the nails during hand hygiene. Transmission to the patient of microorganisms harbored in unhealthy or long fingernails may result in the patient developing a health care–associated infection.
