Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
For most chemical sterilants, the vapors and solution can be toxic, thus calling for the need to protect oneself with PPE.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Because EO gas exerts toxic residual products such as ethylene oxide, ethylene glycol, and ethylene chlorohydrin, adequate aeration is necessary to prevent the absorbent materials from coming into contact with skin or tissues.
