Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
Sliding doors should be used exclusively in the OR because they eliminate the air currents caused by swinging doors; they prevent previously settled microorganisms from being disturbed with the swing of doors. Also swinging doors may touch a sterile table or person when opened. The risk of catching hands, equipment cords, or other supplies is reduced with sliding doors.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
All air within the surgical suite is specially filtered to control dust.
