During a boil-water advisory, which statement is NOT accurate?

The statement that is not accurate during a boil-water advisory is one that advocates for the use of an alcohol-based handrub when hands are visibly soiled. This guidance is critical because alcohol-based hand sanitizers are not effective in removing dirt, grime, or certain pathogens from hands, especially when they are visibly dirty. During a boil-water advisory, the primary concern is maintaining high standards of infection control, which includes proper hand hygiene that can effectively clean hands of contaminants.

In situations where hands are visibly soiled, the appropriate action is to wash hands with soap and water, even if the water is boiled or bottled, to ensure effective removal of contamination. The other statements regarding the use of bottled water for patient rinsing, avoiding water delivery through point-of-use fixtures, and not using public water for handwashing are accurate and reflect the necessary precautions to ensure safety during a boil-water advisory.
