Answer 1

The correct option is: A. keep hands and forearms higher than elbows

Step-by-step explanation:

Hand washing or hand hygiene, refers to the process of cleansing hands, generally with soap and water.

This process involves keeping the forearms and hands lower than elbows while washing with running water and then applying soap and scrubbing the fingers, between the fingers, palms, back of hands and below the nails.

Then rinsing with water while keeping the hands lower than elbows and turning the water tap off by using a clean paper towel.

Also, hand lotions should be used to keep the hands moisturized.

Therefore, option A. is not correct.
