Answer to Question 1

2
Prion diseases are rare, but they can survive some sterilization processes, and chemical disinfectants are not strong enough to eliminate them. These instruments will need to be sterilized with a special treatment to eliminate the prions. High-pressure steam, bacteriostatic solutions, chemicals, disinfectants, and gas sterilizers are not known sterilization methods to eliminate prions.

Answer to Question 2

1
Gowns should be put on after completing a surgical scrub and before gloving. The surgical mask should be adjusted before applying sterile gloves. Head covering should be applied before conducting the surgical scrub.
