Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
Iodophors are iodine compounds that may be combined with detergents. True iodine allergies are rare. Studies have shown that seafood allergies are related to fish protein.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
The skin is cleansed in a circular or linear motion from the incision site to the periphery. The sponge should not backtrack over the already prepped area.
