Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

In the context of hospital clothing, it is important to consider factors such as hygiene, comfort, and ease of maintenance. According to the passage, hospitals require fabrics for items like staff uniforms, aprons, caps, head dresses, masks, and bed linens where hygiene is critical. Cotton fabric is widely used for hospital clothing primarily due to its numerous advantages: 

• Breathability: Cotton is a natural fiber that allows air circulation. This breathability is crucial for maintaining comfort, especially in environments where warmth and perspiration can be issues.
• Hygiene: Cotton can withstand high temperatures during washing, which is essential for disinfection in hospitals.
• Comfort: The softness of cotton makes it comfortable to wear for long periods, an important consideration for both patients and staff.
• Non-allergenic: Cotton is less likely to cause allergic reactions, making it a safer choice for individuals with sensitive skin.

Considering these points from the passage and general fabric characteristics, the correct answer to the question "Which fabric is used for hospital clothing?" is: Cotton

Answer 2

In hospitals, the main focus is hygiene, cleanliness, and disinfection. Cotton is the most commonly used fabric for hospital clothing due to its absorbent and breathable qualities, which are essential for maintaining hygiene and comfort in a hospital setting. Additionally, cotton can withstand high temperatures for effective sterilization.

The correct answer to the question is (C): Cotton.

Answer 3

In the realm of in-house laundry and maintenance setups, both hotels and hospitals manage extensive amounts of textiles such as bed linens and staff uniforms. However, the objectives of these institutions differ. Hospitals prioritize hygiene, cleanliness, and disinfection due to the potential risk of infections, often resorting to disposables to mitigate these threats. In stark contrast, the hospitality sector, which includes hotels, emphasizes aesthetics and the superior finish of articles including guest linens and personal laundry. This entails meticulous attention to starching, ironing, pressing, and precise folding, ensuring a visually appealing presentation and comfort for their guests. 

Given these distinctions, the sector that explicitly prioritizes aesthetics and the finish of articles is the Hotel industry.

In hospitals, the main focus is hygiene, cleanliness, and disinfection. Cotton is the most commonly used fabric for hospital clothing due to its absorbent and breathable qualities, which are essential for maintaining hygiene and comfort in a hospital setting. Additionally, cotton can withstand high temperatures for effective sterilization.

The correct answer to the question is (C) Cotton.

The correct answer to the question in the image is (B) Two.

Answer 7

(A) Use of disposables: Hospitals often use disposables to prevent the spread of infection, which are discarded after use.

Answer 8

The methods suitable for disinfecting hospital laundry include:
(A) Use of disposables, which helps reduce the risk of infection as they are discarded after a single use.
(B) Anti-bacterial finishes on garments to reduce microbial contamination.
(D) Use of disinfectants and high-temperature washing, which kills bacteria and other pathogens effectively.
(C) (reusable garments washed in cold water) is not suitable for disinfection in hospitals, as cold water does not effectively kill bacteria and other pathogens.

Answer 9

To identify which statement is NOT correct regarding in-house laundry setups, we need to examine the context provided:

In-house laundry setups exist within organizations like hotels and hospitals. These laundries are responsible for handling the organizational laundry needs such as cleaning bed linen, room furnishings, staff uniforms, and accessories. They also ensure the final finishing like starching, ironing, and pressing of laundered items. The text mentions that smaller hotels may have connections with commercial laundries for additional support.

Statement	Correctness
They exist within the organisation	Correct
They are responsible for washing organisational laundry only	Correct
They also provide final finishing to laundered garments	Correct
They have link ups with commercial laundries	Not correct for all; only some smaller hotels

Option: They have link ups with commercial laundries is NOT correct with regard to all in-house laundry setups but applies to certain smaller hotels, thus it stands out as the exception. 

Answer 10

Based on the passage, in-house laundry setups in hotels and hospitals handle the laundry requirements within the organization. However, some smaller hotels may have link-ups with commercial laundries, not as a general rule for all institutions. This makes statement (4) incorrect with regard to the in-house laundry set-ups, as not all institutions have commercial laundry link-ups.

The correct answer to the question is (D): They have link-ups with commercial laundries.
