Strong smelling perfumes, deodorants, and soaps can interfere with sensory testing. The strong scents from these products can overpower or distort the senses, making it difficult to accurately perceive and evaluate sensory stimuli. On the other hand, they can also positively impact sensory testing by enhancing certain sensory experiences, such as creating a pleasant or stimulating environment. Additionally, these products can be used to support sensory testing by providing standardized stimuli or control conditions.Rate this question:

Appropriate shoes to wear in the Anderson laboratory are (choose the best answer):
- A.
Sandals
- B.
Open-toed shoes
- C.
Stiletos
- D.
Steel Toed Safety Shoes
Correct Answer
D. Steel Toed Safety ShoesExplanation
The Anderson laboratory requires shoes that provide safety and protection. Sandals and open-toed shoes do not offer adequate coverage and can expose the feet to potential hazards. Stilettos are not suitable as they are high-heeled and can be unstable in a laboratory setting. On the other hand, steel-toed safety shoes are designed to protect the feet from heavy objects, falling objects, and other potential dangers in a laboratory environment, making them the most appropriate choice.Rate this question:

- A.
True, safety glasses provide a barrier of protection against splashes.
- B.
False, contact lenses are permeable to vapors which cause irritation.
Correct Answer
B. False, contact lenses are permeable to vapors which cause irritation.Explanation
Contact lenses are permeable to vapors, which means that they allow vapors to pass through and come into contact with the eyes. This can cause irritation and discomfort when exposed to certain substances or environments. Therefore, wearing contact lenses with safety glasses may not provide adequate protection against vapors and can lead to irritation.Rate this question:

- C.
Never.
- D.

Correct Answer
C. Never.Explanation
The correct answer is "Never" because food and drink should never be permitted in the laboratory. This is because laboratory environments require strict hygiene and safety protocols to prevent contamination and accidents. Consuming food or drinks in the laboratory increases the risk of introducing foreign substances or chemicals into experiments, compromising the accuracy and safety of the work being conducted. Therefore, it is essential to strictly prohibit the presence of food and drink in the laboratory at all times.Rate this question:
