Which health hazards are commonly found in facilities according to the material?

• A. Parasitic outbreaks (scabies, lice, etc)
• B. Viral and bacterial illnesses (TB, HIV, MRSA, & COVID-19)
• C. Both Parasitic outbreaks and viral illnesses
• D. None of the above

Answer: (C)

Health hazards in facilities come from a range of contagious conditions, including both parasitic infestations and viral/bacterial illnesses. The material shows that parasitic outbreaks like scabies and lice can spread in places where people share spaces and items, making hygiene and sanitation crucial. It also highlights viral and bacterial illnesses—such as TB, MRSA, and COVID-19—that can spread through contact, droplets, or contaminated surfaces, requiring measures like hand hygiene, PPE, cleaning, vaccination, and isolation when needed. Since the material points to both kinds as common hazards, the best choice is the one that includes both parasitic outbreaks and viral illnesses. The other options only cover one type or deny the existence of hazards, which doesn’t fit the material.
