Question

1. if you must remove soiled linen from a resident room, what is the safest way to transport it?

transport the linen in your hands to the collection room
place the linen in a soiled linen bag for transport
place the soiled linen in a trash bag for transport
transport the soiled linen on the housekeeping cart

1. which of the following describes how to handle soiled linen?

fold it and carry it to the room in which dirty linen is stored
shake out the linen and place it in a red biohazard bag
pick up the linen with bare hands and roll it up
roll it so that loose material does not fall out

1. what should you do upon finding a mattress with a blood stain absorbed into the fabric?

apply bleach directly to the stain
spot clean it and vacuum it
report it to your supervisor
wipe it with disinfectant

Explanation:

• For question 6: Placing soiled linen in a soiled linen bag is the standard and safest practice to prevent contamination and maintain hygiene. Transporting in hands risks spreading germs, using a trash bag is not for linen, and a housekeeping cart without proper containment is less safe.
• For question 7: Rolling soiled linen so loose material doesn't fall out helps prevent the spread of contaminants. Folding and carrying by hand (especially bare - handed) and shaking (which can disperse particles) are incorrect practices.
• For question 8: Reporting a blood - stained mattress (absorbed into fabric) to a supervisor is important as it may require professional cleaning or assessment (e.g., for deeper cleaning or if there is a health concern). Applying bleach directly can damage the mattress, spot - cleaning and vacuuming may not be sufficient for a blood - absorbed stain, and just wiping with disinfectant may not address the issue comprehensively.

Answer:

1. Place the linen in a soiled linen bag for transport.
2. Roll it so that loose material does not fall out.
3. Report it to your supervisor.
