ITEC Professional Conduct And Business Awareness Practice Test

Which item is used to clean wounds and prevent infection?

Sterile water/saline solution Sterile eye wash Burn cream Antiseptic wipes

Correct Answer:

Antiseptic wipes

Explanation:

Antiseptic wipes are used because they do more than just clean; they actively reduce the risk of infection. They contain antiseptic agents that kill or inhibit microbes on the skin as you wipe, helping lower the microbial load around a wound before applying a dressing. Sterile water or saline mainly rinses away dirt and bacteria but doesn’t kill them. Sterile eye wash is for eyes, and burn cream is for treating burns rather than cleaning wounds. So antiseptic wipes best cover both cleaning and infection prevention for minor wounds.
