The school nurse is discussing methods to prevent an outbreak of hepatitis A with a group of high school teachers. Which action is the most important to teach the high school teachers?

Handwashing (e.g., for the duration of singing 'Happy Birthday') is the most effective way to prevent fecal-oral transmission of hepatitis A in a school setting. Sharing food/drink is a risk but less critical than hygiene.
