DecontaminationPregunta 14 de 100
A technician is scrubbing a hinged instrument with a brush at the decontamination sink and is spraying water droplets into the air. What is the correct technique?
a.Brush more slowly under a running faucet so droplets fall back into the sink
b.Keep the instrument and the brush fully submerged beneath the water surface while brushing
c.Brush above the water line so soil is visible and can be rinsed away immediately
d.Substitute a high-pressure water gun for the brush at all times
Explicación
Brushing under the surface of the water contains splash and prevents the release of contaminated aerosols that expose the worker and the room air. Working above the water line, even slowly under a faucet, still generates droplets. Pressurized water guns have their place for lumens but must be used with additional splash protection and do not replace submerged brushing.
