Which of the following is caused by the release of insulin?

A. When performing hand hygiene, the hands should be held lower than the elbows to allow water to flow downward, preventing the contamination of the forearms.

B. The water temperature should be warm, but not hot, to prevent skin irritation. Extremely hot water is not necessary for effective hand hygiene.

C. Hands and arms should be rubbed together to create friction during hand washing. However, drying should be done with a clean paper towel or air dryer, not by rubbing the hands and arms together.

D. The correct amount of liquid soap for hand hygiene is typically 4 to 5 mL. This is the appropriate amount to ensure effective coverage and cleaning of the hands.

A. Identifying specific pathogens is important for guiding treatment, but the immediate focus in septic shock is on supporting circulation and treating the source of infection rather than just identification.

B. Improving tissue perfusion through intravenous fluid and blood replacement is part of the treatment but is not the sole focus. It is a supportive measure, and it is done alongside treating the source of infection.

C. Administering antibiotics is critical in septic shock but is only part of the treatment. It should be done alongside efforts to support circulation and treat the source of infection.

D. Treating the source of infection and supporting circulation are the primary goals in managing septic shock. This includes administering fluids, antibiotics, and sometimes vasopressors, in addition to addressing the underlying infection.
