Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Peel-pack pouches are made of paper on one side and plastic film on the other and are satisfactory for wrapping single items, odd-shaped items, and small items.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
Pasteurization can be used for items such as reusable respiratory devices and anesthesia breathing circuits to render them safe for patient use. Pasteurization is a method of hot water decontamination/disinfection performed with chlorine detergents and low temperatures although it is not a sterilization process.
