Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Glutaraldehyde is a solution that kills microorganisms by denaturing protein. It is used as a high-level disinfectant on endoscopes and lensed instruments.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Alcohol can be used as a housekeeping disinfectant for damp-dusting furniture and lights or wiping electrical cords. Chlorine compounds are also housekeeping disinfectants for cleaning bodily fluids. They are bactericidal, fungicidal, and tuberculocidal and have a virucidal effect on HIV, HBV, and other viruses.
