Answer to Question 1

1
High-pressure/high-temperature steam sterilization is the use of an autoclave to directly expose the instruments to steam for a specified period of time. Cold chemical sterilization is the submersion of instruments in a sterilizing solution for a predetermined period of time. Dry heat utilizes static air or forced air to sterilize items. Alcohol is a commonly used disinfectant. It is not an effective sterilant and, therefore, is not acceptable.

Answer to Question 2

3
The design of the intraoperative environment is to maintain surgical asepsis. The design is not to have a calming effect on clients. Intraoperative environments are not designs for ease of use by personnel or to reduce postoperative pain.
