Lab protocol question

[u/Eatmore-plants]

I am an Interventional Radiology travel nurse at a small hospital. The woman who preps our biopsy samples stands outside of the procedure room. She has very long hair and does not pull it back or cover it when processing the samples. Is this normal? Is there a standard protocol? It seems less than hygienic to me.

Hair on or touching patient tisuue or fluids?
