    Regular handwashing is an effective way to prevent the spread of germs and reduce the risk of getting sick. Germs can easily transfer from our hands to our mouth, nose, or eyes, leading to infections and illnesses. By washing our hands frequently with soap and water, we can remove these germs and prevent their entry into our bodies. This simple hygiene practice is particularly important during times of outbreaks or when dealing with contagious diseases.

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When you are sick, it is important to rest up and avoid close contact with others to prevent the spread of illness. Resting allows your body to recover and heal more efficiently, while avoiding close contact helps prevent the transmission of germs to others. By following these measures, you not only take care of your own health but also protect those around you from getting sick.

    For the seasonal flu, a vaccine is available each year.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A vaccine for the seasonal flu is available each year. This means that medical professionals develop and distribute a new vaccine specifically designed to protect against the strains of the flu virus that are expected to be most prevalent during that particular flu season. Getting vaccinated can help individuals build immunity against the flu and reduce the chances of getting sick or experiencing severe symptoms. Therefore, the statement is true.

    You should never cover your coughs and sneezes.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Covering your coughs and sneezes is an important way to prevent the spread of germs and prevent others from getting sick. By covering your mouth and nose with a tissue or your elbow, you can help to contain respiratory droplets that may contain viruses or bacteria. This is especially important during cold and flu seasons or during outbreaks of contagious illnesses. Therefore, the statement that you should never cover your coughs and sneezes is incorrect.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The best way to prevent flu is to get vaccinated.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Getting vaccinated is the most effective method to prevent the flu. Vaccines stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies that protect against specific strains of the flu virus. By receiving a flu vaccine, individuals can significantly reduce their risk of contracting the flu and experiencing its associated symptoms and complications. Vaccination also helps to limit the spread of the virus within communities, protecting vulnerable populations who may be at a higher risk of severe illness or complications from the flu. Therefore, the statement that getting vaccinated is the best way to prevent the flu is true.

  • 7. 

    It is safe to use your sleeve to cover your nose if you do not have a tissue.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Using your sleeve to cover your nose when you don't have a tissue can be considered safe because it helps to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria. When you sneeze or cough into your sleeve, it acts as a barrier to trap the droplets and reduce the risk of them being dispersed into the air or onto surfaces. However, it is still important to wash your hands afterwards and avoid touching your face to maintain good hygiene practices.

    • Tv remote

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Door knobs
    A. Toys
    A. Refrigerator doors
    A. Tv remote
    Explanation
    When you are sick, it is important to keep objects that you frequently touch clean to prevent the spread of germs. Door knobs, refrigerator doors, and the TV remote are commonly touched surfaces that can harbor germs. Toys can also collect germs, especially if you have children who play with them. Keeping these objects clean can help reduce the chances of spreading illness to others.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    How long should you scrub your hands?

    Correct Answer(s)
    20 seconds
    Explanation
    You should scrub your hands for 20 seconds because this is the recommended duration to effectively remove dirt, germs, and bacteria from your hands. Washing your hands for less than 20 seconds may not be sufficient to eliminate all the pathogens, while washing for longer than 20 seconds may not provide any additional benefits in terms of cleanliness. Therefore, 20 seconds is the optimal duration for hand scrubbing to maintain proper hygiene.
