Motion-sensor faucets represent a human factors engineering solution in infection prevention. Human factors engineering focuses on designing systems and devices that reduce the potential for human error and improve efficiency. Motion-sensor faucets minimize the need for physical contact, reducing the potential for cross- contamination and helping to prevent the spread of infections in healthcare settings.
* Antibacterial soap (A): While important for infection prevention, it is not a human factors engineering solution but rather a hygiene product.
* Antimicrobial stewardship (C): This is a programmatic approach to using antimicrobials responsibly, not an engineering solution.
* Instrument sterilization (D): This is a standard infection control process but not specifically a human factors engineering approach.
