All above
Correct Answer
A. All aboveExplanation
Hand hygiene should be performed before patient touching, after patient touching, and after patient surroundings because it helps to prevent the transmission of microorganisms. Before touching the patient, hand hygiene is necessary to ensure that any potential pathogens on the hands are eliminated, reducing the risk of infection. After touching the patient, hand hygiene is important to remove any potential pathogens that may have been acquired during the interaction. Similarly, after touching the patient surroundings, hand hygiene is necessary to prevent the spread of any microorganisms that may have been picked up from the environment. Performing hand hygiene in all these situations helps to maintain a safe and clean healthcare environment.Rate this question:

Narcotics should be stored in a double lock for increased security and to prevent unauthorized access. This ensures that only authorized personnel have access to the narcotics and reduces the risk of theft or misuse. A double lock provides an extra layer of protection and adds an additional barrier to prevent unauthorized individuals from gaining access to the narcotics.

A steel cupboard can also provide additional security and protection for storing narcotics.Rate this question:
