Hand antiseptics should be used a during handwashing b before handwashing C after handwashing d in place of handwashing

The correct answer is b) before handwashing.<br /><br />Hand antiseptics, such as hand sanitizer, should be used before handwashing to effectively reduce the number of germs on the hands. Handwashing with soap and water is still recommended after using hand antiseptics, as it helps to remove any visible dirt or debris from the hands.
