Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Sterilization, not disinfection, includes the use of dry heat and moist heat under pressure for cleaning. Moist heat under pressure is used to clean a dialysis machine. Stronger disinfectants include phenol and chlorine bleach, which are generally too strong to be used on living tissue. They are used on surfaces, such as floors and countertops. Povidone-iodine is used on the skin to kill microorganisms.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, F
Feedback:
Not only does mobility enhance independence and self-esteem, it also helps to prevent complications such as hypostatic pneumonia, pressure areas and skin breakdown, thrombophlebitis, and constipation.
