Answer 1

25. The srerile process of instruments and equipment are done in sterile processing by use of different techniques and technologies. Many contaminated equipment need to be cleaned and disinfected before sterilization. Thus need a knowledge regarding microbiology. Different types of cleaning machinery like ultrasonic cleaners, hot air oven, etc re used in the process thus need a thought knowledge in physics to known the mechanism behind each machines. So many enzymes, chemical agents, and gas during sterilization process which requires knowledge in chemistry. Some equipment should be reassemble before sterilization and some should clean in different ways. Thus electronic repair knowledge is necessary.

The answer is True.

26. The sterile processing department in hospital is qlso know as central sterile supply department which is responsible for receive, storage, sterilize and disinfect the equipment.

The answer is central sterile

27. An autoclave or heat sterilization is the widlely using sterilization method in hospital.

The answers is false

28. Autoclaveing is the best sterilization method as it kills almost all microorganisms like fungi, virus, bacteria, etc even if they are in an inactive state.

The answer is false
