Which of the following can you use to put out a grease fire?
- A.
Baking soda
- B.
Baking powder
- C.
Flour
- D.
Brown sugar
Correct Answer
A. Baking sodaExplanation
Baking soda can be used to put out a grease fire because it is a natural extinguisher for fires. When baking soda is heated, it releases carbon dioxide, which helps to smother the flames by displacing oxygen. This reaction also creates a barrier between the fire and the fuel source, preventing it from spreading. Baking powder, flour, and brown sugar are not effective in extinguishing grease fires and may even make the situation worse by fueling the fire.Rate this question:

A Type C fire extinguisher will put out what type of fire?
- A.
Liquid
- B.
Electric
- C.
Pet
- D.
Metal
Correct Answer
B. ElectricExplanation
A Type C fire extinguisher is specifically designed to put out electrical fires. Electric fires are caused by faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, or electrical equipment malfunctions. These fires cannot be extinguished with water or other types of fire extinguishers as they may conduct electricity and pose a risk of electrocution. A Type C fire extinguisher contains a non-conductive agent, such as carbon dioxide or dry chemical, which can safely extinguish electrical fires by removing the heat and cutting off the oxygen supply.Rate this question:

Where should you store heavy pots & pans?
- A.
In the oven when not in use
- B.
On low shelves
- C.
In reach of children
- D.

Correct Answer
B. On low shelvesExplanation
Heavy pots and pans should be stored on low shelves because it is easier and safer to lift and access them from a lower height. Storing them on low shelves also minimizes the risk of them falling or causing injury if they are placed on higher shelves. Additionally, storing heavy items on low shelves prevents strain on the arms and back when lifting them, reducing the chances of accidents or injuries while retrieving or putting away the pots and pans.Rate this question:

What should you do with a First Degree Burn?
- A.
Wrap it with a paper towel
- B.
Apply ointment
- C.
Apply a dry band-aid
- D.
Run burned area under cold water
Correct Answer
D. Run burned area under cold waterExplanation
When you have a first-degree burn, running the burned area under cold water is the recommended course of action. This helps to cool down the burn and reduce pain. Cold water also helps to prevent further damage to the skin and promote healing. Applying ointment or a dry band-aid may not be necessary for a first-degree burn, and wrapping it with a paper towel may not provide the same cooling effect as running it under cold water.Rate this question:

What is the maneuver performed for a choking victim?
- A.
CPR
- B.
Heimlich maneuver
- C.
Cardio Pulmonary Resucitation
- D.

Correct Answer
B. Heimlich maneuverExplanation
The Heimlich maneuver is the correct answer for a maneuver performed on a choking victim. It involves applying abdominal pressure to force air from the lungs and expel the object causing the obstruction. CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) is a different procedure used for cardiac arrest and not specifically for choking. Obstruction removal is a general term that could encompass various methods, including the Heimlich maneuver.Rate this question:

How long should you wash your hands to be sure all bacteria is removed?
- A.
5 senconds
- B.
15-20 seconds
- C.
50 seconds
- D.
60-120 seconds
Correct Answer
B. 15-20 secondsExplanation
To ensure that all bacteria is removed, it is recommended to wash your hands for 15-20 seconds. This duration allows enough time for the soap and water to effectively remove dirt, germs, and bacteria from the hands. Washing for a shorter duration may not be sufficient to eliminate all harmful microorganisms, while washing for longer durations may not provide any additional benefits in terms of cleanliness. Therefore, 15-20 seconds is considered an optimal time for handwashing to ensure proper hygiene and reduce the risk of infections.Rate this question:

- A.
25-135
- B.
40-140
- C.
50-160
- D.
30-130
Correct Answer
B. 40-140Explanation
The temperature range of the danger zone is 40-140 degrees Fahrenheit. This range refers to the temperatures at which bacteria can grow and multiply rapidly in food, increasing the risk of foodborne illnesses. Temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit slow down bacterial growth, while temperatures above 140 degrees Fahrenheit kill most bacteria. Therefore, it is important to keep perishable foods out of the danger zone to ensure food safety.Rate this question:

Which of the following is NOT microwave safe?
- A.
Glass plate with grilled chicken
- B.
Paper plate with pizza
- C.
Bowl of chili covered with aluminum foil
- D.
Ceramic cup of cocoa
Correct Answer
C. Bowl of chili covered with aluminum foilExplanation
The bowl of chili covered with aluminum foil is not microwave safe because aluminum foil can cause sparks and potentially start a fire in the microwave. Microwaves heat food by emitting electromagnetic waves that excite water molecules, causing them to vibrate and generate heat. However, aluminum foil reflects these waves, preventing the food from heating evenly and potentially damaging the microwave. Therefore, it is not safe to use aluminum foil in the microwave.Rate this question:
