2.

Autoclaves are pressurised at a minimum of ______ for a minimum period of ______.
- A.
  
  120 degrees Celsius, 14 minutes
- B.
  
  120 degrees Celsius, 15 minutes
- C.
  
  121 degrees Celsius, 14 minutes
- D.
  
  121 degrees Celsius, 15 minutes
Correct Answer
D. 121 degrees Celsius, 15 minutes

Explanation
Autoclaves are used for sterilization purposes and operate under high pressure and temperature to kill microorganisms effectively. The correct answer is 121 degrees Celsius, 15 minutes. This combination of temperature and time ensures the destruction of most bacteria, viruses, and spores. The higher temperature of 121 degrees Celsius is preferred over 120 degrees Celsius to provide an extra margin of safety. The longer duration of 15 minutes allows for sufficient exposure to heat, ensuring thorough sterilization.

Tools should always be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed in clean water before disinfecting or sterilising them.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Washing tools in warm soapy water and rinsing them in clean water before disinfecting or sterilizing is an important step in maintaining hygiene and preventing the spread of bacteria or germs. Warm soapy water helps to remove dirt, debris, and organic matter from the tools, making the disinfection or sterilization process more effective. Rinsing in clean water ensures that any remaining soap or residue is removed. Therefore, it is necessary to wash and rinse tools before proceeding with disinfection or sterilization.

Some liquid chemical sterilisers are very harmful to the skin and great care is needed when handling them.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Liquid chemical sterilisers can indeed be very harmful to the skin. These sterilisers often contain strong chemicals that can cause burns, irritation, or allergic reactions if they come into contact with the skin. Therefore, it is essential to exercise caution and take proper safety measures when handling these substances to prevent any harm or injury.

The risks of cross-infection will only be eliminated if potential disease is identified and immediate measures taken.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
This statement is true because in order to eliminate the risks of cross-infection, it is necessary to identify any potential disease and take immediate measures. This can include implementing proper hygiene practices, isolating infected individuals, and providing appropriate medical treatment. By promptly addressing and containing potential diseases, the chances of cross-infection can be significantly reduced or eliminated altogether.

6.

Ultraviolet rays also sterilise but unfortunately have a very high rate of penetration.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
This statement is false. Ultraviolet rays do have a sterilizing effect, but they have a relatively low rate of penetration. Ultraviolet rays are easily blocked by surfaces such as glass and clothing, which limits their ability to penetrate and sterilize objects or organisms. Therefore, the given statement is incorrect.

Glass bead sterilisers reach temperatures of between ________ and three hundred degrees, depending on the model.
- A.
  
  One hundred and seventy degrees
- B.
  
  One hundred and eighty degrees

Disinfectants do not only reduce the number of organisms.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Disinfectants not only reduce the number of organisms, but they also eliminate or kill them completely. They are specifically designed to destroy or inhibit the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, making the environment or surface safe and free from harmful pathogens. Therefore, the statement "Disinfectants do not only reduce the number of organisms" is false.
