space may result in total paralysis. Injection of medications
should be done with a test dose1st followed by injections of up
to 5 mL at a time to ensure proper placement
the most accurate method for verifying the effectiveness of a
steam sterilizer is a - ANSWER-biologic indicator
which of the following should be considered regarding the
integrity of packing materials? - ANSWER-storage areas should
have air temperature below 75degrees Fahrenheit
R/ temp below 75F & humidity between 30-70% are
environmental conditions needed to help prevent the potential
for contamination. Storage should be secured away from
unrestricted conditions. Closed cupboards are preferable for
storage. Items should be cooled prior to storage
an EPA registered disinfectant labeled to kill tuberculosis is
effective against - ANSWER-mycobacteria
,when transporting instruments after a procedure, the ____
require that the instruments are put in a closed container or
closed cart - ANSWER-OSHA regulations

is suspected of having Creutzfedt-Jakob Disease (CJD). The
safest way to process this neuroendoscope post-procedure is
to - ANSWER-dispose of the scope
R/ Shorter steam sterilization cycles and low temp sterilization
technique are not effective in inactivationg prions. When used
on high risk tissue, reusable instruments that are not easy to
clean and cannot tolerate extended steam sterilization cycles
should be discarded after use
to adequately decontaminate a flexible endoscope after use,
the 1st step that should be followed is to - ANSWER-preclean
the exterior with cleaning product
R/ precleaning at point of use should occur as soon as possible
after the endoscope is removed from the pt. the exterior of the

lumens are 270 to 272 F (132-135 C)
the purpose for placing a chemical indicator tape on the
outside of a package is to signify that the package - ANSWER-
an external chemical indicator should be checked to determine
that the package has been exposed to a sterilant.
