Question
Answer
1. T/F - An insect bite can serve as a portal of entry for disease   True  
🗑
2. T/F - Infection spread by contaminated instruments is an ex of direct contact transmission   False - Indirect  
🗑
3. T/F - Contact time and the amount of bioburden on an item does not influence the efficiency of disinfectancts   False - Influence the breakdown process  
🗑
4. T/F - Glutaraldehyde requires a minimum exposure time of 20 min to disinfect an item   True
