Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
People remain the major source of microorganisms in the OR environment. The surgical team is the most common source of transmission, followed by contaminated instrumentation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The CDC recommends that babies receive a onetime dose of 0.5 ophthalmic ointment instilled into their eyes within 1 hour, to protect against contamination by vaginal secretions of an infected mother.
