Step 1: Disinfection is the process of inhibiting or destroying pathogens on nonliving surfaces,

Question

1. Disinfection is: a. removal of microbes from a surface by scrubbing b. inhibits or destroys pathogens, but not all pathogens on nonliving surfaces c. removal of all microbes, except prions d. inhibits or destroys pathogens, but not all pathogens on living surfaces 2. The suffix cidal indicates: a. inhibit the growth of microbes without necessarily killing them b. destroy or permanently inactivate a particular type of microbe c. a microbe destroying itself d. all of the above are correct 3. The minimum inhibitory concentration: a. determines the efficacy of a chemical agent (whether susceptible, intermediate or resistant) b. determines which agent can prevent bacterial growth at the highest dilution c. compares an agent's ability to control microbes to that of phenol d. none of the above are correct 4. An antiseptic: a. removes microbes from a surface by scrubbing b. inhibits or destroys pathogens, but not all pathogens on nonliving surfaces c. removes all microbes, except prions d. inhibits or destroys pathogens, but not all pathogens on living surfaces 5. Osmotic Pressure is used to prevent growth by: a. surrounding microbes with a hypotonic medium to draw water out of the microbe. b. surrounding microbes with a hypertonic medium to draw water out of the microbe. c. surrounding microbes with a hypertonic medium to draw water into the microbe. d. all of the above are correct
