Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Iodophors are the only exception to this statement.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
White household vinegar is used extensively as a method for decontaminating home care respir-atory equipment. One part 5 white household vinegar and three parts water should be used. Bleach and lye are too dangerous for the patient to use and are respiratory irritants. Prolonged and repeated use of alcohol can cause swelling and hardening of rubber and plastic tubes.
