Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Many body parts are clean but not sterile. Examples include the skin, mouth, gastrointestinal tract, and upper respiratory tract. Disinfection is a process that results in the destruction of most pathogens, but not necessarily their spores. The skin is not considered to be sterile and, therefore, sterile technique or surgical asepsis is not appropriate for washing hands.

Answer to Question 2

A
