Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
The use of antimicrobial hand hygiene products is recommended because they remove transient organisms but leave resident flora intact. There is a difference in the products and it is true that the effectiveness of hand hygiene is dependent on proper technique, but the client's question is best answered by the information provided in option 3.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Antibacterial products kill resident flora and that can lead to the development of infection. The remaining options may be true but they are not the primary negative outcome of the regular use of antibacterial hand cleansing products.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
