Disinfection & SafetyQuestion 10 of 100
You lift your disinfected metal implements out of the solution with tongs and dry them. Where do they belong now?
a.Back in the disinfectant jar so they stay wet until the next client
b.In a clean, closed, labeled dry container reserved for disinfected implements
c.Loose in the top drawer alongside the used tools from this morning
d.In an open tray on the manicure table
Explanation
Disinfected implements are dried and stored in a clean, covered container that is labeled as clean or disinfected and kept separate from used tools. Leaving them sitting in the solution can corrode them and the solution weakens over time. An open tray or a drawer shared with dirty tools recontaminates them before the next client even sits down.
