Correct Answer
A. The top of a mask should be pinched snugly over the bridge of the nose.Explanation
The statement "The top of a mask should be pinched snugly over the bridge of the nose" is true because it ensures a secure fit and helps to prevent any gaps or openings that could allow for the entry of contaminants. By pinching the mask over the bridge of the nose, it creates a seal and reduces the risk of inhaling or exhaling airborne particles. This is an important step in properly donning personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure maximum protection against potential hazards.Rate this question:
