Question

1. how many seconds should the entire handwashing process take?

○ 6
○ 10
○ 15
○ 25

Explanation:

The recommended duration for the entire handwashing process (including scrubbing) to effectively remove germs is 20 seconds, but a commonly taught and recognized minimum effective time for thorough handwashing (scrubbing) is 15 seconds (equivalent to singing "Happy Birthday" twice). Among the options, 15 seconds is the standard recommendation for the handwashing process duration.

Answer:

15 (assuming the option with 15 is the correct choice; if the options are labeled, e.g., C. 15, then it would be C. 15)
