Question

the most effective action you can take to minimize disease transmission when caring for a victim with external bleeding is to--
wear disposable gloves while giving care.
wash your hands thoroughly before giving care.
avoid touching your hands to your face.

Explanation:

When caring for a victim with external bleeding, wearing disposable gloves creates a physical barrier between the caregiver and the victim's blood, which may carry pathogens. Washing hands thoroughly is important for general hygiene but doesn't directly protect during contact with bleeding. Avoiding touching the face is a good practice but not the most effective for preventing disease - transmission from external - bleeding care.

Answer:

Wear disposable gloves while giving care.
