Disinfection & SafetyPregunta 10 de 100
A regular client arrives for a facial with an active, weeping cold sore on the lip. What should the esthetician do?
a.Decline the service, explain that the condition is contagious, and reschedule after it has healed
b.Perform the facial but avoid the lip area
c.Perform the facial and apply extra disinfectant to the tools afterward
d.Perform the facial while wearing two pairs of gloves
Explicación
An active herpes simplex lesion is contagious and can be spread by hands, linens, and product containers, and manipulation or heat can also worsen the outbreak; the correct response is to decline politely and reschedule. Avoiding the lip area does not stop cross-contamination from droplets and hands. Disinfecting afterward and doubling gloves do not protect the client's own face or the establishment's shared product.
