| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| This low-level disinfectant is incompatible with soap: | Quaternary ammonium Compounds (quats) |
| When working with glutaraldehyde, technicians should always wear: | Nitrile glove |
| How are items that have undergone high-level disinfection (HLD) DRIED? | WITH HEPA-filtered air |
| In a washer-disinfector, the key source of disinfection is: | Water temperature |
| The use of test strips to test the minimum effective concentration (MEC) in HLD solutions is required: | Each time the solution will be used |
| The use of heat to kill all microorganisms, except spores, is called: | Thermal disinfectioin |
| These chemicals are used on animate (living tissue) items to slow the growth of microorganisms: | Antiseptics |
| Items introduced directly into the Bloodstream or other normally sterile areas of the body are classified as: | Critical items |
| The process by which all forms of microorganisms are completely destroyed is: | Sterilization |
| Iodophors at a member of this chemical family: | Halogens |
| Phenolics are classified as: | Low- to -ntermediate-level disinfectants |
| Which of the following are classified as high-level disinfectants used for semi-critical devices | Glutaraldehydes and OPA |
| Thermal disinfection is accomplished using: | Heat |
| How long must alcohol remain in wet contact with an item to achieve a reasonable level of disinfection? | Five to 10 minutes |
| Which of the following chemicals would be the best choice for high-level disinfection (HLD) of instruments? | OPA |
| Enters sterile tissue or the vascular system | Critical |
| Touches mucous membranes, except dental | Semi-critical |
| Touches intact skin | Non-critical |
| Device needs not be prepared for disinfection. It must be throughly cleaned to allow complete exposure to the disinfectant, and dried to prevent additional water from diluting the disinfectant | Device preparation |
| Disinfectants are not effective unless they make district contact with all surfaces of the device improper cleaning will leave organic matter, which prevents direct contact with the disinfectant | Contact |
| Critical water is preferred for non-critical items and is required for semi-critical and critical items unless sterile water is specified by the manufacturer’s written | Rinsing |
| All _____ need to be properly labeled | Containers |
| Items requiring ____ only come in contact with intact skin | Low level and intermarriage-level disinfectant |
| A member of he halogen family | Chlorine |
| Buffered iodines that are also members of he halogen family | Iodophors |
| The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates hog-level disinfectants and liquid chemical sterilants (LCS) used to process | High-Level Disinfectants |
| Ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA) | Ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA) |
| May be used and resided within the limitation | The OPA solution |
| It should be discarded, regardless of how many days the solution has been in use | MEC level |
| This chemical achieves HLD in five minutes at room temperature and some dilutions are designed to be used in a manufacturer-specific automated endoscope reprocessor (AER) | Peracetic Acid |
