Question

Infection control procedures include sweeping and disposing of hair clippings:

a) after performing a shampoo service
b) after performing an air forming service
c) prior to performing a shampoo service
d) prior to performing an air forming service

Answer 1

Option D). Infection control procedures include sweeping and disposing of hair clippings prior to performing an air forming service.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sweeping and getting rid of hair clippings before doing an air-forming service are infection control measures. This is done in an effort to stop any pathogens that might be in the hair from spreading. In contrast to a shampoo service, where the client's skin and scalp come into direct contact with the hair, an air forming service minimizes the risk of infection by keeping the hair away from the skin. Hence, Option D) prior to performing an air forming service is the correct answer.
