Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Effective handwashing requires at least a 20-second scrub with plain soap or disinfectant and warm water. Hands that are visibly soiled need a longer scrub.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Health care personnel follow standard precautions whenever there is the potential for contact with the following: blood; body fluids except sweat, regardless of whether they contain visible blood; non-intact skin; and mucous membranes. Standard precautions are measures for reducing the risk of microorganism transmission from both recognized and unrecognized sources of infection. The other three precautions are transmission-based precautions, which are measures for controlling the spread of infectious agents from clients known to be, or suspected of being, infected with highly transmissible or epidemiologically important pathogens.
