While scrubbing your hands and arms, where should the run-off of soap and water drip down to?

Feet
Hands
Head
Elbows

The correct answer is: Elbows

When scrubbing your hands and arms, the runoff of soap and water should drip down to the elbows. This is because starting from the hands and arms and moving towards the elbows ensures that any contaminants or debris are effectively washed away from the clean areas towards the forearms, which can then be rinsed off without contaminating the hands again. Proper hand and arm scrubbing technique is essential for maintaining cleanliness and minimizing the risk of infections in a healthcare setting. Therefore, allowing the runoff to drip down to the elbows helps in maintaining a clean and hygienic environment.
