Question

handwashing with soap removes germs from hands. this helps prevent infections because:
people frequently touch their eyes, nose, and mouth without even realizing it. germs can get into the body through the eyes, nose, and mouth and make us sick.
germs from unwashed hands can get into foods and drinks while people prepare or consume them. germs can multiply in some types of foods or drinks, under certain conditions, and make people sick.
germs from unwashed hands can be transferred to other objects, such as handrails, table tops, or toys, and then transferred to another persons hands.
removing germs through handwashing therefore helps prevent diarrhea and respiratory infections
which effects result from handwashing education? check all that apply.
germs are less likely to be transferred from hands to other objects, spreading disease.
communicable diseases are less likely to spread from person to person.
people are less likely to touch their eyes, nose, and mouth without realizing it.
the number of cases of diarrhea declines by more than 50 percent.
the number of respiratory illnesses declines by about 20 percent.

Explanation:

• Handwashing education reduces germ transfer (prevents disease spread).
• It cuts down on communicable disease transmission.
• Diarrhea cases decline (handwashing helps).
• Respiratory illness cases decrease (handwashing effect).
• People still touch face unconsciously (handwashing doesn't stop that).

Answer:

Communicable diseases are less likely to spread from person to person.
The number of cases of diarrhea declines by more than 50 percent.
