SterilizationCâu 41 / 100
Immediate-use steam sterilization (IUSS) is requested for a single dropped instrument during a case. Which statement is correct?
a.The item must still be thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated before it is placed in the sterilizer
b.Cleaning may be abbreviated because the exposure temperature is higher
c.The item may be flash sterilized unwrapped and stored for later use if kept covered
d.IUSS eliminates the need for physical, chemical, and biological monitoring
Giải thích
IUSS shortens the packaging and drying steps, not the cleaning step, and a device that is not properly cleaned cannot be sterilized by any cycle. Items processed by IUSS are transported for immediate use and are not stored for later cases. Physical monitors and chemical indicators are used with every IUSS cycle, and the sterilizer is monitored biologically at least daily or weekly per policy.
