1What is the single most effective everyday action a health-care worker can take to prevent the spread of infection?
A.Wearing a white coat at all times
B.Performing proper hand hygiene
C.Speaking softly in the ward
D.Changing bedsheets once a week only
Explanation: Proper hand hygiene removes or kills microbes on the hands before they reach patients, surfaces, or the worker’s face. It is the foundation of infection prevention in hospitals and homes.
2When are hands washed with soap and water rather than only alcohol-based hand rub?
A.Only when leaving the hospital for the day
B.When hands are visibly dirty or soiled with blood or body fluids
C.Never; alcohol rub is always enough
D.Only after wearing gloves
Explanation: Soap and water physically remove dirt, blood, and body fluids. Alcohol rub is used on visibly clean hands between tasks, but soiled hands need washing first.
3Which personal protective equipment (PPE) item is primarily used to protect the hands from contact with blood and body fluids?
A.Face mask
B.Apron only
C.Gloves
D.Cap
Explanation: Gloves form a barrier between the worker’s hands and potentially infectious material. They must be used for contact with blood, body fluids, mucous membranes, or non-intact skin as per policy.
4After removing used gloves, what should the health-care worker do next?
A.Reuse the same gloves after rinsing them in water
B.Perform hand hygiene
C.Put the gloves in the patient’s bedside drawer for later
D.Touch the face to check for comfort
Explanation: Hands can become contaminated when gloves are removed. Hand hygiene after glove removal reduces transfer of microbes to the worker and the environment.
5Used needles and other sharps should be discarded in which type of container?
A.An open plastic bag under the bed
B.A puncture-resistant sharps container
C.The general paper waste bin
D.A patient’s personal water bottle
Explanation: Sharps must go into a dedicated puncture-resistant container to prevent needlestick injuries to staff, cleaners, and others who handle waste.
6What is the main purpose of biomedical waste segregation at the point of generation?
A.To make the ward look colourful
B.To separate waste types so they can be handled and treated safely
C.To reduce the number of nurses on duty
D.To increase the total weight of hospital waste
Explanation: Segregation puts infectious, sharps, and other waste into correct colour-coded streams so treatment is safer, injuries drop, and environmental harm is reduced.
7A health-care assistant should avoid which of the following when handling soiled linen?
A.Wearing gloves as per policy
B.Holding soiled linen away from the uniform
C.Shaking soiled linen vigorously in the open ward
D.Placing soiled linen in the designated laundry bag
Explanation: Shaking soiled linen spreads dust, skin scales, and microbes into the air and onto surfaces. Linen should be rolled or folded carefully and bagged without agitation.
8Standard (universal) precautions mean that blood and body fluids from which patients are treated as potentially infectious?
A.Only patients with known HIV
B.Only fever patients
C.All patients
D.Only surgical patients
Explanation: Standard precautions assume every patient’s blood and body fluids may carry infection. Using the same basic protections for all patients reduces missed cases and protects staff and others.
9Which practice best reduces cross-contamination between patients?
A.Using the same pair of gloves for all patients on a round
B.Changing gloves and performing hand hygiene between patients
C.Wiping gloves on a cloth between patients only
D.Washing gloves once at the start of the shift
Explanation: Gloves are single-patient use items in clinical care. Changing them and cleaning hands between patients stops transfer of microbes from one person to another.
10A mask is most important when there is risk of:
A.Droplet or splash exposure to the nose and mouth
B.Foot injury from a heavy trolley
C.Sunburn outdoors only
D.Noise in the corridor
Explanation: Masks protect the respiratory entry points when droplets, sprays, or certain airborne hazards are expected, as directed by the care plan and facility policy.
