Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
In all types of isolation, the most important control measure is thorough handwashing before and after close patient contact; after handling contaminated objects, body fluids, and excretions; and between patients. Isolation techniques must not be implemented in a way that causes the patient to feel victimized. Patients should be educated to understand that the isolation protects them as well as the caregiver, and they must comply with the regimen.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
Asepsis means without dirt and it implies the absence of pathogenic microorganisms. The terms aseptic and sterile are not synonymous, but are closely related. An object can be aseptic without being sterile. Sterile technique is based on sound principles to prevent the transmission of microorganisms that cause infection.
