Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
The purpose of the OR attire is to provide effective barriers that prevent dissemination of microorganisms to patients and protect personnel from a patient's blood and bodily substances.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
Home laundering of scrub suits may cause cross contamination between hospital and home microflorae. Laundry conditions at home are not controlled for temperature and cleaning products and may not consistently take microbial counts to an irreducible minimum. Scrubs should not be taken home because the risk of contamination of family members may be increased if clothing were contaminated with resistant microorganisms such as prions causing Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease or Mycobacterium tuberculosis, causing tuberculosis.
