Positive air pressure with 4 air exchanges per hour Temperature of 75-85°F (24-29°C) Negative air pressure with at least 10 air exchanges per hour Relative humidity below 30%

Correct Answer:

Negative air pressure with at least 10 air exchanges per hour

Question 3

A new enzymatic detergent is being trialed in the decontamination area. To ensure its effectiveness, the water temperature should be maintained within the range specified by the manufacturer's Instructions for Use (IFU). What is the primary reason for this requirement?

Hotter water activates the disinfectant properties of the enzyme. The enzymatic action is optimized within a specific temperature range; temperatures that are too high can cause the enzymes to break down. Colder water prevents the instruments from rusting during the cleaning process. The water temperature directly impacts the pH level of the final rinse.

Correct Answer:

The enzymatic action is optimized within a specific temperature range; temperatures that are too high can cause the enzymes to break down.

Question 4

During the manual cleaning of surgical instruments, which of the following is the first and most critical step in the process?

Applying a lubricant to all hinged instruments. Rinsing the instruments with hot water. Immersing the instruments in a basin with an appropriate, properly diluted, neutral pH detergent. Scrubbing instruments below the surface of the water.

Immersing the instruments in a basin with an appropriate, properly diluted, neutral pH detergent.
