In areas generally accessible to residents, what must be kept in a locked area separate from medications and food?

  1. Chemicals (pesticide, disinfectants, and poisons)

  2. Cleaning supplies

  3. Personal care items

  4. Kitchen utensils

The correct answer is: Chemicals (pesticide, disinfectants, and poisons)

In areas generally accessible to residents, chemicals such as pesticides, disinfectants, and poisons must be kept in a locked area separate from medications and food. This is important because these substances can be harmful if ingested and should not be easily accessible to residents. Options B, C, and D may also need to be kept in a locked area for safety reasons, but they are not the correct answer because they are not specifically mentioned in the question.
