Answer to Question 1

A
Medical asepsis, or clean technique, includes procedures used to reduce the number, and prevent the spread, of microorganisms. Hand hygiene, barrier techniques, and routine environmental cleaning are examples of medical asepsis. Surgical asepsis, or sterile technique, includes procedures used to eliminate all microorganisms from an area. Sterilization destroys all microorganisms and their spores. The techniques used in maintaining surgical asepsis are more rigid than those performed under medical asepsis.

Answer to Question 2

Progress notes
Progress notes provide a format for documenting a patient's health status and progress.
