Introduction:
There are some methods used to control the growth of microorganisms. These methods are known as antimicrobial control methods such as autoclaves, bleach, iodine, soap, alcohol, and so on.

Answer to Problem 1NP
Correct answer:
An RN on the medical-surgical unit would expect to perform all of the following antimicrobial control methods during her care of patients, except sanitization. Therefore, option (d) is correct.
Option (d) is given as “sanitization”.
Explanation of Solution
Justify reason for the correct statement:
Sanitization is a cleansing technique which removes microorganisms and other debris. This process is mainly used in restaurants, breweries and in the cleaning of utensils and sanitize hands. It is not used in surgical units because it needs a high level of disinfectants.
Hence, option (d) is correct.
Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (a) is given as “sterilization”.
Sterilization is the process of removal of all viable microorganisms, which also includes viruses, so it can be useful in healthcare. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (b) is given “antisepsis”.
The antisepsis is also helpful in reducing the number of microbes on the skin of humans. Antiseptics are used as decontaminant. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (c) is given as “disinfection”.
The disinfectants are used on inanimate objects to destroy vegetative pathogens and related bacterial endospores. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (a), (b), and (c) are incorrect.
Sanitization is mainly used for decontamination of utensils, containers or in dairy industries but not in medical surgical unit.

- What is this?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology A-C components of the question are corresponding to attached image labeled 1. D component of the question is corresponding to attached image labeled 2. For a eukaryotic mRNA, the sequences is as follows where AUGrepresents the start codon, the yellow is the Kozak sequence and (XXX) just represents any codonfor an amino acid (no stop codons here). G-cap and polyA tail are not shown A. How long is the peptide produced?B. What is the function (a sentence) of the UAA highlighted in blue?C. If the sequence highlighted in blue were changed from UAA to UAG, how would that affecttranslation? D. (1) The sequence highlighted in yellow above is moved to a new position indicated below. Howwould that affect translation? (2) How long would be the protein produced from this new mRNA?

- Molecular Biology You discover a disease causing mutation (indicated by the arrow) that alters splicing of its mRNA. This mutation (a base substitution in the splicing sequence) eliminates a 3’ splice site resulting in the inclusion of the second intron (I2) in the final mRNA. We are going to pretend that this intron is short having only 15 nucleotides (most introns are much longer so this is just to make things simple) with the following sequence shown below in bold. The ( ) indicate the reading frames in the exons; the included intron 2 sequences are in bold. A. Would you expected this change to be harmful? ExplainB. If you were to do gene therapy to fix this problem, briefly explain what type of gene therapy youwould use to correct this. Please help. Thank youarrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question Please help.
