Answer to Question 1

C
Cleaning involves removing organic material such as blood or inorganic material, such as soil from objects. Disinfection and sterilization use both physical and chemical processes. Both processes disrupt the internal functioning of microorganisms by destroying cell proteins. Disinfection eliminates almost all pathogenic organisms, with the exception of bacterial spores. Sterilization eliminates or destroys all forms of microbial life, including spores.

Answer to Question 2

D
Hospital emergency departments, urgent care centers, critical care units, and inpatient medical-surgical units are sites that provide secondary and tertiary levels of care.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
