Why take a infection control quiz

Healthcare workers are at an increased risk for exposure to bloodborne pathogens, and improper infection control can lead to serious consequences. Infection control is the process of preventing the spread of disease-causing organisms in the healthcare setting. It includes hand hygiene, safe injection practices, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and safe work practices. Healthcare workers can prevent the spread of infection by following these simple steps: -Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer - practise safe injection procedures - use gloves, goggles, and face masks when necessary - avoid contact with blood and other body fluids - properly dispose of contaminated materials - clean and disinfect surfaces and equipment By following these simple steps, healthcare workers can prevent the spread of infection and keep themselves and their patients safe.
