Which value is associated with the concept of hygiene?

• A. Hygiene
• B. Moralistic orientation
• C. Time orientation
• D. Doing rather than being

Answer: (A)

The main idea tested is how a value aligns with a health-care practice concept. Hygiene as a value centers on cleanliness and infection control, guiding behaviors like hand hygiene, sanitation, and environmental cleanliness to protect health.

This is the best fit because it directly matches the concept: the value named hygiene embodies the practices and priorities that prevent disease and maintain sanitary conditions in care settings. The other orientations describe different motivational focuses—moral judgments about right and wrong, emphasis on time and deadlines, or prioritizing action over being. They don’t capture the essence of maintaining cleanliness and preventing infection, which is the core of hygiene.
