Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

The substance that kills microorganisms except for spores is a disinfectant. An antiseptic destroys some microorganisms. Sterilization is complete removal of all pathogens. Aseptic means free from infection or infectious material.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

The client's head is elevated when using Fowler's position. This statement indicates an appropriate understanding. The other statements made by the UAP indicate the need for further instruction.
