Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Bending the strip at the top of the mask is done when applying a mask.
Rationale 2: Looping the ties over the ears is done when applying a mask.
Rationale 3: Tying the strings in a bow under the chin is done when applying a mask.
Rationale 4: Touching the mask by the strings is the appropriate intervention because the mask is considered contaminated.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: When the water is turned on, it should be adjusted so it does not splatter even if the flow is not very forceful.
Rationale 2: Cleaning the faucet after use would defeat the whole purpose of washing the hands. If the sink needs cleaning, clean it before washing the hands
Rationale 3: Holding the hands upward under the faucet is incorrect. They should be held downward so the soap, germs, and water are washed downward from the hands and down the sink.
Rationale 4: Approximately one teaspoon of soap should be used when performing proper hand washing technique.
