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.
