    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Going into work when you are sick can actually be counterproductive and potentially harmful to both yourself and others. When you are sick, your productivity may be significantly reduced, and you may also risk spreading your illness to colleagues, which can lead to a decrease in overall workplace productivity. It is important to prioritize your health and take the necessary time off to rest and recover when you are sick.

    • 2 - 5 hours after

    • It does not matter if you do or don't

    Correct Answer
    A. Immediately after
    Explanation
    Washing your hands immediately after coming in close contact with someone who has a cold is important because it helps to prevent the spread of germs. Cold viruses can easily be transmitted through direct contact, such as shaking hands or touching contaminated surfaces. By washing your hands immediately, you can remove any potential viruses or germs that may have been transferred during the contact. This helps to reduce the risk of getting infected or spreading the cold to others.

    Getting plenty of rest with help your immune system stay strong.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Getting plenty of rest helps your immune system stay strong because sleep is essential for the body to repair and rejuvenate itself. During sleep, the immune system releases proteins called cytokines that help fight off infections and inflammation. Lack of sleep can weaken the immune system, making you more susceptible to illnesses. On the other hand, getting enough rest allows your immune system to function optimally, increasing your body's ability to defend against pathogens and maintain overall health.

    In order to stay hydrated how much water, or fluid, should you drink a day?

    • 2 - 4 eight ounce glasses

    • 7 - 8 eight ounce glasses

    • 10 - 12 eight ounce glasses

    Correct Answer
    A. 7 - 8 eight ounce glasses
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 7-8 eight ounce glasses. This is because the average person needs to drink about 64 ounces, or 8 cups, of water per day to stay properly hydrated. This amount can be achieved by drinking 7-8 eight ounce glasses of water throughout the day. Drinking enough water is important for maintaining bodily functions, regulating body temperature, and promoting overall health and well-being.

    Does drinking and smoking increase your chance of getting sick?

    • Yes

    • No

    • Only if you do it everyday

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    Drinking and smoking can increase the chances of getting sick. Both habits weaken the immune system, making the body more vulnerable to infections and diseases. Alcohol impairs the immune system's ability to fight off pathogens, while smoking damages the respiratory system and reduces lung function. These factors increase the risk of developing various illnesses, including respiratory infections, cardiovascular diseases, and certain types of cancer. Therefore, engaging in these habits can indeed increase the likelihood of getting sick.

  • 7. 

    If you follow all healthy living strategies you will never get sick.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "If you follow all healthy living strategies you will never get sick" is an overgeneralization. While adopting healthy living strategies can certainly reduce the risk of getting sick, it does not guarantee complete immunity from all illnesses. Factors such as genetics, environmental factors, and exposure to contagious diseases can still lead to illness, even if a person follows a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Explanation
    When you sneeze or cough, it is important to cover your mouth to prevent the spread of germs. Using a tissue is recommended as it can catch the droplets and be disposed of afterwards. Washing your hands is crucial to remove any germs that may have been transferred to your hands. Disinfecting surfaces that may have come into contact with the sneeze or cough can help eliminate any remaining germs.

    mouth
    face
    Explanation
    To prevent passing germs and getting sick, it is important to keep your hands away from your eyes, nose, mouth, and face. These areas are entry points for germs and viruses, and touching them with contaminated hands increases the risk of infection. By avoiding contact with these areas, you can reduce the chances of transferring germs from your hands to your body, helping to maintain good hygiene and overall health.

    Rate this question:

  • 10.

    counter
    Explanation
    To prevent the spread of germs, it is important to regularly disinfect commonly touched surfaces. These surfaces include the desk, keyboard, doorknob, mouse, and counter. Disinfecting these areas helps to kill any bacteria or viruses that may be present, reducing the risk of transmission. Regular disinfection is especially important in shared spaces or high-traffic areas where germs can easily be spread from person to person. By regularly disinfecting these surfaces, the spread of germs can be minimized, promoting a healthier and safer environment.
