Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proper hand hygiene is the most important health promotion strategy for all age groups of children because it is the primary way that germs are transmitted. Keeping a child free from colds and keeping toys clean are also important strategies, but they are not as effective as proper hand hygiene. Keeping a child away from sick adults is also important, but may not always be feasible or practical, and does not address the potential transmission of germs through other means.
