ANS: D
People remain the major source of microorganisms in the OR environment. The surgical team is the most common source of transmission, followed by contaminated instrumentation.

The CDC recommends that babies receive a onetime dose of 0.5 ophthalmic ointment instilled into their eyes within 1 hour, to protect against contamination by vaginal secretions of an infected mother.
