Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Hand-washing is the most important prevention strategy to protect health care workers from be-ing infected through contact with infected patients. It also reduces the risk of health care workers transmitting infectious microorganisms from one patient to another or from a contaminated site to a clean site on the same patient. Sterile gloves are worn during invasive procedures. Disposal of sharps is important when any sharps (e.g., needles) are used. Face masks need to be worn when there is a possibility of blood or body fluid being splashed or sprayed, such as during an arterial blood gas stick.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Droplet precautions include masks, gloves, and protective eyewear but not special air-handling.
