Question 24

Handwashing guidelines (from health and hygiene standards, especially in medical and health contexts) recommend rubbing hands for at least 20 seconds to effectively remove germs.

An exposure incident involves contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials. Option d describes a cosmetologist cutting herself (exposing to client's or her own blood, etc.) during service, fitting the exposure incident definition. Other options: a is a client injury, b is a client's lice (not an exposure incident as defined), c is unlicensed service (not an exposure incident).

a. 20 seconds
