Which of the following best describes the correct order for putting on personal protective equipment (PPE) before a hijama session?
Answer: Gown, mask, eye protection, gloves
The correct donning order is gown first, then mask, then eye protection, then gloves to minimize self-contamination.
When disposing of used hijama cups after a session, what is the correct procedure for single-use cups?
Answer: Dispose in a biohazard/red bag as regulated medical waste
Single-use cups contaminated with blood must be disposed of in biohazard bags as regulated medical waste per OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards.
A client arrives with an active cold sore (herpes labialis) on their lip. What is the practitioner's safest course of action?
Answer: Postpone the session until the lesion has fully healed
Active herpetic lesions are contraindicated; the session should be postponed until the client is no longer in an active outbreak to prevent viral transmission.
What is the minimum contact time required for most EPA-registered intermediate-level disinfectants when disinfecting non-porous treatment surfaces?
Answer: As specified on the product label
Contact time (wet time) varies by product; practitioners must always follow the specific dwell time stated on the EPA-registered disinfectant label.
In the context of infection control, what does 'standard precautions' assume about every client?
Answer: All blood and body fluids are potentially infectious regardless of diagnosis
Standard precautions treat all blood and body fluids as potentially infectious, eliminating reliance on client self-disclosure or known diagnosis.
Which hand hygiene method is MOST effective at removing Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) spores from hands?
Answer: Soap and water handwashing for at least 20 seconds
Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are ineffective against C. diff spores; soap and water physically removes spores through mechanical action.
What is the primary purpose of using a fenestrated drape during a hijama session?
Answer: To isolate the treatment site and maintain a sterile/clean field
A fenestrated drape exposes only the treatment area, creating a controlled clean field and reducing contamination risk to surrounding skin.
