- A.
  
  You could infect others
- B.

Correct Answer
A. You could infect others

Explanation
When you are ill, you could potentially spread your illness to others, which can have serious consequences, especially if you work in a close proximity environment.

It is important to prioritize the well-being of others and prevent the spread of illness by staying home and taking the necessary time to recover.

How do germs spread?
- A.
  
  Contact transmission
- B.
  
  Airborne transmission
- C.
  
  Vector transmission
- D.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the above

Explanation
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.

- A.
  
  HIV
- B.
  
  Malaria
- C.
  
  All infectious diseases
- D.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
B. Malaria

Explanation
A mosquito can spread malaria. Malaria is a vector-borne disease that is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. These mosquitoes carry the Plasmodium parasite, which causes malaria. While mosquitoes can transmit other infectious diseases, such as dengue fever and Zika virus, HIV is not transmitted through mosquito bites. Therefore, the correct answer is Malaria.

The CDC developed standard precautions to decrease the spread of:
- A.
  
  Airborne diseases
- B.
  
  Blood-borne diseases
- C.
  
  Only viral diseases
- D.
  
  Only bacterial diseases
Correct Answer
B. Blood-borne diseases

Explanation
The CDC developed standard precautions to decrease the spread of blood-borne diseases. These diseases are transmitted through contact with infected blood or other body fluids. Standard precautions include practices such as hand hygiene, the use of personal protective equipment, safe injection practices, and proper handling and disposal of sharps. By implementing these precautions, the CDC aims to prevent the transmission of blood-borne diseases in healthcare settings and protect both healthcare workers and patients from potential infections.

You should:

  Clean before you disinfect
- B.
  
  Disinfect before you clean
- C.
  
  Disinfect only
- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Clean before you disinfect

Explanation
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.

Additionally, knowing what protective equipment is necessary is crucial to protect yourself from any potential hazards. Finally, never mixing chemicals is important to prevent any unexpected reactions or dangers that could occur. Therefore, all of these points are necessary precautions to take before using any chemical.

It is important to use gloves when anticipating contact with blood or body fluids to prevent the transmission of diseases and maintain a safe and hygienic working environment. Wearing gloves at all times or only when feeling like it may not be necessary in all work situations, but using them when there is a risk of exposure to blood or body fluids is crucial for personal protection and infection control.
