A nurse with psoriasis on her hands needs an alcohol-free hand sanitizer alternative that is permitted by hospital policy, as the Purell sanitizer exacerbates her open fissures.

Hospital policy prohibits any alternative sanitizers, and the employee health provider dismissed her condition, leaving her without a viable hand hygiene solution that doesn't worsen her psoriasis.
