Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Joseph Lister contributed to medical practice through the introduction of the aseptic technique.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Any accidental body fluid spill should be cleaned up as soon as possible. The person cleaning the spill should wear gloves. One cup of bleach diluted with 10 cups of water should be used as a disinfectant to spray over the spill and clean up with paper towels. The paper towels should then be placed in the plastic-lined waste container.
