    In the 17th and 18th century, phlebotomy was a major therapeutic process that included the use of leeches. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    During the 17th and 18th century, phlebotomy was indeed a major therapeutic process that involved the use of leeches. Phlebotomy, the practice of drawing blood from a patient, was believed to balance the body's humors and restore health. Leeches were commonly used in this process as they were thought to remove "bad blood" and improve circulation. This practice was widely accepted and considered a legitimate medical treatment during that time period. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct.

    The single most important means of preventing the spread of infection is:

    • Proper hand washing

    • Wearing a mask

    • Wearing gloves

    • Noscomial infections cannot be prevented

    Correct Answer
    A. Proper hand washing
    Explanation
    Proper hand washing is the single most important means of preventing the spread of infection because it helps to remove germs and bacteria from the hands. Hands come into contact with various surfaces throughout the day, and if not washed properly, these germs can be transferred to the mouth, eyes, or other parts of the body, leading to infections. Hand washing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds helps to kill and remove the majority of germs, reducing the risk of spreading infections to oneself and others. Wearing a mask and gloves can also be important in certain situations, but they are not as effective as proper hand washing in preventing the spread of infection.
