Answer to Question 1

B
Select one of the following formulas to calculate drop rate based on drops per minute: mL/hr/60 min = mL/min followed by Drop factor mL/min = Drops/min, or mL/hr Drop factor/60 min = Drops/min.

If hands are not visibly soiled, use an alcohol-based hand rub for routinely decontaminating hands before having direct contact with patients, before putting on sterile gloves, and before inserting indwelling urinary catheters, peripheral vascular catheters, or other invasive devices; after contact with a patient's intact skin (e.g., when taking a pulse or blood pressure, lifting a patient); after contact with body fluids or excretions, mucous membranes, nonintact skin, and wound dressings if hands are not visibly soiled; when moving from a contaminated body site to a clean body site during care; after contact with inanimate objects (including medical equipment) in the immediate vicinity of the patient; and after removing gloves.
