Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (www.epa.gov) sets standards for the disposal of infectious and hazardous waste.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
Proper connections from the dispersive electrode to the patient and the ESU unit are essential to prevent burns. The Bovie pad must be placed on the body where there is adequate surface contact with skin or body tissue.
