BIO208 Control of Microbial Growth, Chapter 13 Prior to drawing blood for a blood donation, the nurse will clean the arm with a Betadine solution. This form of antimicrobial control is called __________. A. antisepsis B. disinfection C. sterilization D. decontamination E. degerming To prepare for surgery, the surgical instruments undergo____and the area on the patient undergoes____. A. sterilization, disinfection B. disinfection, sanitization C. sterilization, antisepsis D. sanitization, antisepsis E. decontamination, antisepsis What is the difference between a disinfectant and an antiseptic? A. Disinfectants can be used only on living tissue, antiseptics can be used only on inanimate objects. B. Disinfectants mechanically remove microbes, antiseptics remove microbes with chemicals. C. Disinfectants remove all microbes, antiseptics reduce the microbe load. D. Disinfectants are applied to inanimate surfaces, antiseptics are used on living tissue. A protocol with a long DRT is more effective than a protocol with a short DRT. A. True B. False Once a _____ agent is removed, growth of microbes might resume. A. germicide B. bactericide C. bacteriostatic D. biocide What is the DRT for each protocol? Tincture of iodine = 85 seconds Tincture of Zephiran = >120 seconds Aqueous Zephiran = >>120 seconds Soap and water = >>>120 seconds Based on the graph , which is the most effective disinfectant? 1
