Disinfection & SafetyQuestion 24 of 100
After disinfection, how must clean implements be stored?
a.Loose in a drawer with product samples
b.In the disinfectant container permanently
c.On an open tray beside the treatment bed
d.Dry, in a clean, covered container or drawer used only for disinfected implements and labeled as clean
Explanation
Disinfected implements must be dried and kept in a clean, covered, clearly designated container so they are not recontaminated by dust, spray, or hands. Storing them loose with other items or on an open tray exposes them again. Leaving them permanently in solution corrodes metal and does not meet the requirement for dry, covered storage.
