DecontaminationPregunta 6 de 100
During a survey, an inspector reviews the department's daily environmental logs and asks what relative humidity range must be maintained in the work areas. What is correct?
a.10 to 25 percent
b.30 to 60 percent
c.65 to 80 percent
d.Humidity does not need to be monitored in decontamination
Explicación
Relative humidity of roughly 30 to 60 percent limits microbial growth and static electricity while protecting packaging materials from moisture damage. Very low humidity dries out wrappers and generates static; humidity above 60 percent supports microbial proliferation and can cause packaging and stored items to absorb moisture. Humidity must be monitored and documented in all reprocessing areas, including decontamination.
