Infection Prevention & Safety第 99 / 100 题
Which workstation adjustment best applies ergonomic principles in the decontamination area?
a.Setting sink height so the working level is at or slightly below the technician's elbow, with anti-fatigue mats and adjustable work surfaces
b.Setting all sinks to a single fixed height so every station is identical
c.Encouraging technicians to lean over the sink to see instruments more clearly
d.Requiring technicians to lift full instrument trays with the arms fully extended
解析
Ergonomic design matches the workstation to the worker, and a sink whose working level sits at or just below elbow height keeps shoulders and wrists in neutral positions during long cleaning tasks. Anti-fatigue mats and height-adjustable surfaces accommodate staff of different statures. Fixed heights, sustained forward leaning, and lifting with extended arms all increase the risk of cumulative musculoskeletal injury.
