Question 7

Which of the following is a TRUE statement concerning handwashing after occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials?

The best practice is to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water after any potential exposure.

If your gloves are still intact when you remove them, there is no need to wash your hands afterwards.

Strong abrasive soaps are most effective in removing contamination from hands.

Using an antiseptic towelette is always an acceptable alternative to washing your hands with soap and water.
