Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Respiratory hygiene involves covering the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing to prevent the spread of respiratory secretions. Using bed linens or disposing of tissues on the person's dietary tray does not effectively prevent the spread of respiratory secretions. Washing hands at least once per day is important for hand hygiene but not specifically related to respiratory hygiene in this scenario.
