Answer to Question 1

C
Hand hygiene is a general term that applies to hand washing, antiseptic handwash, antiseptic hand rub, or surgical hand antisepsis. Hand washing refers to washing hands with plain soap and water. An antiseptic handwash means washing hands with water and soap or other detergents containing an antiseptic agent. An antiseptic hand rub means to apply an antiseptic hand rub product, such as alcohol, to all surfaces of the hands to reduce the number of microorganisms present. Surgical hand antisepsis is an antiseptic handwash or antiseptic hand rub that surgical personnel perform preoperatively to eliminate transient and reduce resident hand flora.

Answer to Question 2

B
Sleep apnea is associated with an increased risk of heart attack or stroke and hypertension. A nurse can assist the person who has sleep apnea to seek medical treatment for the condition, such as use of a nasal continuous positive-pressure airway pressure device or a dental appliance that repositions the tongue. Surgical intervention may also be required.
