Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Noncritical items come in contact with intact skin. These items include face masks, ventilators, stethoscopes, and blood pressure cuffs. Scalpels are introduced into sterile tissue and are consid-ered critical items. Ventilator tubing and manual resuscitators come in contact with intact mucous membranes and are considered semicritical.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Only alkaline glutaraldehyde requires activation with a bicarbonate solution. This yields a solu-tion with a pH of 7.5 to 8.5.
