Question

what primary infection prevention and control practice can help patients to prevent or minimize infection risk after discharge? select an answer: wash hands only when visibly soiled begin antibiotics as soon as feel ill seek emergency care for any scrape or cut maintain good nutrition and good hygiene

Explanation:

• "Wash hands only when visibly soiled" is incorrect as hands should be washed more frequently for infection prevention.
• "Begin antibiotics as soon as feel ill" is wrong because antibiotics are for bacterial infections and self - medicating can lead to resistance and other issues.
• "Seek emergency care for any scrape or cut" is not necessary as most minor scrapes and cuts can be managed at home with proper care.
• "Maintain good nutrition and good hygiene" is a primary practice as good nutrition boosts the immune system and good hygiene (like regular handwashing, keeping clean) helps prevent the spread of infectious agents.

Answer:

D. Maintain good nutrition and good hygiene
