Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
Steel wool, wire brushes, scouring pads, or powders can scratch or remove the protective finish on metal and cause corrosion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The phases of the washer-decontaminator are cold water prerinse, alkaline detergent wash, neutral rinse, steam, and heat. The washer-decontaminator cleans with a spray force action and is similar to the washer-sterilizer with its cold water rinse to loosen blood and protein, an alkaline detergent with low suds, and a neutral rinse to prevent staining or corrosion, and steam and heat to render the instruments safe to handle at the end of the cycle.

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination.
