Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Flash sterilization in a high-speed pressure sterilizer should be used only in urgent, unplanned, or emergency situations. Items that are to be permanently implanted into the body are NOT to be sterilized in this manner unless the results of biologic monitoring are immediately available.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Ozone is metastable gas that works by oxidation and destroys organic and inorganic matter. Formaldehyde, hydrogen peroxide, ethylene oxide, acetic acid, glutaraldehyde, peracetic acid, and hypochlorous acid are other examples of chemical sterilization agents.
