Decontamination第 26 / 100 题
A case cart cannot be picked up for several hours because of staffing. What is the best interim measure for the soiled instruments?
a.Immerse the entire set in a covered basin of tap water until pickup
b.Apply an instrument pre-treatment foam, spray, or moisture-retaining product per the manufacturer instructions and keep the set covered
c.Wrap the set in a saline-dampened towel
d.Place the set in a warming cabinet so soil stays soft
解析
Pre-treatment products are designed to hold moisture against the soil for extended periods and prevent it from drying, which preserves cleanability during unavoidable delays. Full immersion in open basins creates heavy containers, splash risk, and possible corrosion, and standing water can support microbial growth. Saline damages instruments, and heat accelerates drying and can coagulate protein.
