CBSPD Sterilization - Certification Exam Review ||
Questions and 100% Accurate Answers.
Steam Using Gravity Displacement: Method of Killing correct answers Denatures
microorganism proteins
Steam Using Gravity Displacement: Sterilant Used correct answers Combination of steam and
ambient air
Steam Using Gravity Displacement: How do steam and ambient are sterilize? correct answers
Steam displaces the air, and forces it out of the drain vent. Steam then comes in direct contact
with items

Steam Using Gravity Displacement: Items that CAN be sterilized correct answers 1. Critical
items that are heat and moisture resistant
2. Semi-critical items that are heat and moisture resistant
3. Sharps Containers
Steam Using Gravity Displacement: Items that CANNOT be sterilized correct answers Heat and
moisture sensitive materials
Steam Using Gravity Displacement: Biological Indicator correct answers Geobacillus
Stearothermophilus

moisture sensitive
2. Semi-critical items that are heat, pressure, and moisture sensitive
3. Devices with long lumens
EO: Items that CANNOT be sterilized correct answers Trays with silicone mats (must follow
manufacturer's guidelines)
EO: Biological Indicator correct answers Bacillus Atrophaeus
