Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aseptic precautions involve preventing the spread of infection from one person or object to another. Wearing gloves and a mask when working with a patient while having a cold helps to prevent the spread of infection. Using tissues when coughing, leaning against the sink when washing hands, and using nail polish are not specific aseptic precautions. Taking a fever medication before going to work if you have a fever may help to reduce fever but does not specifically prevent the spread of infection.
