Subject: [MCOH-EH] Beards
Does anyone have a policy relating to the length of beards in the patient care areas. I have a male RN who works in our ICU who is letting his beard
grow and also a male anesthestist in the OR.
All our policy states a beard must be trimmed and maintained. I feel this is an infection control issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
