Step 1
The primary goal is to ensure that these devices are safe and effective for multiple uses after being properly cleaned, disinfected, or sterilized. Show more…

Identification: Disinfection and Sterilization Identify the following items as requiring sterilization: critical (C), high-level disinfection; semicritical (S), low- to intermediate-level decontamination; or noncritical (N). Classification Required Processing Item 1. Biopsy forceps 2. Rectal probe thermometer 3. Laryngoscope for intubation 4. Urinary catheter 5. Stretcher 6. Noninvasive blood pressure monitor 7. Cystoscope 8. Gastroscope (Flexible endoscope) 9. Pulse oximeter Fill in the Blank: Disinfection and Sterilization 1. When one organism benefits while the second organism is neither benefited nor harmed, the relationship is called commensalism. 2. Escherichia coli microbes colonize within a human being by forming a type of symbiotic relationship called mutualism. 3. A type of symbiosis that is a subcategory of mutualism called parasitism could achieve a result that neither achieves a result that neither organism could achieve alone. 4. The relationship between human hosts and indigenous microflora is called colonization. 5. Neutralism is a relationship that occurs when neither organism has an effect on the other. 6. During the case, the circulator's hand extends over the sterile field to point out an instrument to be used; you know that unsterile never reaches over sterile due to possible fallout of microbes and dead skin. Microbes could be transmitted by the mode of indirect contact. 7. As the patient enters the room, he is coughing and has MRSA pneumonia. The patient has a mask on, but it slips repeatedly as his spinal anesthetic is given. The microbes could be transmitted by droplet transmission. 8. The skin flora is a major source of microbes whereby opportunistic pathogens are transmitted from one area of the body where they are found as indigenous microflora to another area of the body where they may cause an infection. 9. Any nick, scrape, or cut surrounding the site or pustules/infection at a remote site from the operative site can increase the potential for SSI due to an increased number of microbes called contaminants. 10. Proper operating room (OR) attire includes appropriate hair cover for head and face (completely covered) and donned first, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent splash transmission, healthcare facility laundering or approved commercial laundering of surgical scrub attire, no jewelry, no fingernail polish/artificial nails, shoe covers removed/changed when contaminated prior to exiting room, and cover apparel when exiting the department.

In 2015, it was reported that several patients at UCLA Medical Center were infected with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) because of ineffective sterilization of equipment used for colonoscopy procedures. Which two of the following are important considerations when addressing this sterilization issue? Check All That Apply. The complexity of the equipment and the need to disassemble multiple components for cleaning present challenges for disinfection. The antibiotic carbapenem is not recommended for disinfecting protocols. Organic matter like tissue samples must be removed before applying a disinfectant. An intermediate-level disinfectant is appropriate for equipment with only a moderate level of contamination.
