-
Contact transmission
-
Airborne transmission
-
Vector transmission
-
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. All of the aboveExplanation
Germs can spread through various means, including contact transmission, airborne transmission, and vector transmission. Contact transmission occurs when germs are transferred from one person to another through direct physical contact or by touching contaminated surfaces. Airborne transmission happens when germs travel through the air and are inhaled by others. Vector transmission involves the spread of germs through insects or other animals that act as carriers. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above," as germs can be transmitted through any of these methods.Rate this question:

You should:
-
Clean before you disinfect
-
Disinfect before you clean
-
Disinfect only
-
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Clean before you disinfectExplanation
Cleaning before disinfecting is important because it helps remove dirt, grime, and other organic matter from surfaces. This allows the disinfectant to work more effectively by eliminating any barriers or obstructions that could prevent it from reaching and killing germs. Cleaning also helps to physically remove a significant amount of germs, reducing their presence before applying a disinfectant. Therefore, cleaning before disinfecting is a necessary step in maintaining a clean and germ-free environment.Rate this question:
