Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
This type of booklet is often used to help to orient the client to the facility. It contains information such as gift shop hours, newspaper deliveries, location of the chapel, and name of the chaplain. The booklet is not for distraction and it does not elicit informed consent or list the costs of the various diagnostic tests.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Surgical asepsis means those measures that render supplies and equipment totally free of microorganisms. This exceeds the standards of medical asepsis and both viral and bacterial contaminations are vigilantly addressed. Prophylactic antibiotics are not normally a component of surgical asepsis.
