Ohio State Board Nail Technician Practice Exam

Sanitation/cleaning is the_______ of infection control?

1. Most effective level

2. Intermediate level

3. Lowest level

4. Only necessary step

The correct answer is: Lowest level

Overall in infection control, the most effective method to prevent the spread of infection is through sanitation and cleaning. However, sanitation and cleaning alone are not sufficient and rely on other infection control measures such as hand hygiene and proper use of personal protective equipment. The intermediate level refers to the use of disinfectants, which also play a crucial role in infection control but are not the primary method. Option D is incorrect because other measures such as isolation and proper waste disposal are also necessary steps in infection control. Option A is incorrect because while sanitation and cleaning are important, there is no single most effective level as multiple methods need to be practiced together for effective infection control.
