The correct donning order is gown first, then mask, then eye protection, then gloves to minimize self-contamination.

Question 2

When disposing of used hijama cups after a session, what is the correct procedure for single-use cups?

Accepted Answer

Dispose in a biohazard/red bag as regulated medical waste

Question 3

A client arrives with an active cold sore (herpes labialis) on their lip. What is the practitioner's safest course of action?

Accepted Answer

Postpone the session until the lesion has fully healed

Answer

Active herpetic lesions are contraindicated; the session should be postponed until the client is no longer in an active outbreak to prevent viral transmission.

Question 4

What is the minimum contact time required for most EPA-registered intermediate-level disinfectants when disinfecting non-porous treatment surfaces?

Accepted Answer

As specified on the product label

Answer

Contact time (wet time) varies by product; practitioners must always follow the specific dwell time stated on the EPA-registered disinfectant label.

Question 5

In the context of infection control, what does 'standard precautions' assume about every client?

Accepted Answer

All blood and body fluids are potentially infectious regardless of diagnosis

Answer

Standard precautions treat all blood and body fluids as potentially infectious, eliminating reliance on client self-disclosure or known diagnosis.
