a)
Hand washing: Hand washing is one
of the most important methods to prevent infection (pathogen) to get into the
body. Most of the pathogens spread from hands as we use it to contact other
people physically. Therefore, we should wash our hand frequently to keep
pathogens away to get into our body. We should also follow proper hand washing
techniques using anti bacterial soap and gel.
b)
Own personal hygiene: Our own
personal hygiene is sometimes responsible for infection to get into our body.
Pathogens get into our body, sometimes from finger nails, jewellery, watches
and other ornaments. Therefore, we should keep ourselves clean, keep our nails
cleaned and cut and wear less jewellery. We also should not wear any jewellery
with sharp edges. We must use gloves, apron, goggles and musk as necessary.
c)
Encouraging the individual’s
personal hygiene: An individual may become very prone to infection due to their
age and medical conditions. Therefore, we should encourage them to keep their
nails cut short and cleaned. We should also encourage them to wash their hand.
