Which of the following is not part of the basic personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent the spread of COVID-19?
- A.
Positive pressure suit
- B.
Gown
- C.
Disposable mask
- D.
Face shield
Correct Answer
A. Positive pressure suitExplanation
A positive pressure suit is not part of the basic personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent the spread of COVID-19. PPE includes items such as gowns, disposable masks, and face shields, which are designed to provide a barrier between the wearer and potential sources of infection. A positive pressure suit, on the other hand, is a specialized form of PPE typically used in high-risk environments such as laboratories or hazardous material handling, where a positive pressure environment is needed to protect the wearer from external contaminants. It is not necessary for general COVID-19 prevention measures.Rate this question:

- B.
The top of a mask should be pinched snugly over the bridge of the nose.

Correct Answer
B. The top of a mask should be pinched snugly over the bridge of the nose.Explanation
The statement "The top of a mask should be pinched snugly over the bridge of the nose" is true because it ensures a secure fit and helps to prevent any gaps or openings that could allow for the entry of contaminants. By pinching the mask over the bridge of the nose, it creates a seal and reduces the risk of inhaling or exhaling airborne particles. This is an important step in properly donning personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure maximum protection against potential hazards.Rate this question:
