1. true or false: to prevent back injury, it is better to push a housekeeping cart than pull it.

true
false

Explanation:

1. Diluting cleaning chemicals in a utility room with open windows allows for proper ventilation, reducing the risk of inhaling harmful fumes. Closed rooms, kitchens during food prep, and resident's rooms are inappropriate due to safety and contamination risks.
2. Starting from the farthest point from the entrance when cleaning a resident's room floor ensures systematic cleaning without missing areas and avoids stepping on already cleaned sections.
3. High - touch areas should be both cleaned (removing dirt) and disinfected (killing germs) for proper hygiene. Sanitization may not remove all dirt, water and soap may not kill all germs, and bleach solution may be too harsh for some surfaces without proper cleaning first.
4. Placing soiled linen in a soiled linen bag for transport is the safest as it contains contaminants, unlike transporting in hands (risk of direct contact), in a trash bag (not designed for linen), or on a housekeeping cart (risk of spreading dirt).
5. Pushing a housekeeping cart is better for preventing back injury as it allows for better weight distribution and less strain on the back muscles compared to pulling.
