    What is the water temperature you should wash your hands with?

    • Hot

    • Cold

    • Warm

    • Germ-x

    Correct Answer
    A. Warm
    Explanation
    Warm water is the correct temperature to wash your hands with. This is because warm water helps to remove dirt, oil, and bacteria from the skin more effectively than cold water. It also helps to open up the pores and allows the soap to lather and clean the hands thoroughly. Using water that is too hot can be harmful to the skin and cause dryness or burns, while cold water may not effectively remove germs and dirt. Therefore, warm water is the optimal temperature for handwashing.

    What is the best preparation in killing bacteria?

    • Plain hand soap

    • Germ-x

    • Antimicrobial soap

    Correct Answer
    A. Germ-x
    Explanation
    Germ-x is the best preparation for killing bacteria because it is specifically designed as a hand sanitizer with a high alcohol content. Alcohol is known to effectively kill bacteria and other germs on the skin. Plain hand soap may help remove bacteria from the hands, but it is not as effective as germ-x in killing them. Antimicrobial soap may contain additional ingredients to target specific types of bacteria, but germ-x is generally more versatile and widely used for killing a broad range of bacteria.
