A central dispatch system is based on a predetermined quota. These quotas are
essential numbers established based on actual use and represent the number of items
which should always be available in order to avoid shortage. - CORRECT ANSWER:
FALSE. Items are requested then delivered (time-consuming, works best in small
hospitals). Predetermined quotas are Top Up.
A Laryngoscope blade is used to exam the throat. - CORRECT ANSWER: True.
A slow exhaust Gravity Sterilizer is needed for sterilizing: - CORRECT ANSWER:
Liquids.
A washer disinfector must have an extended hot water rinse that provides thermal
disinfection: 91 C (195.8 F) for 1 minute or 71 C (160 F) for 30 minutes in order to meet
requirements. - CORRECT ANSWER: True.
According to the CSA Standards, all sterilization records must be kept on file for one
year. - CORRECT ANSWER: False: 2+ years.

should be of a neutral pH (7.0). - CORRECT ANSWER: True.
All medical devices that have a lumen must be hand washed, flushed and brushed at
least three times or until the brush is clean prior to any mechanical cleaning. -
CORRECT ANSWER: True.
All newly purchased, non-sterile devices shall be inspected but not all medical devices
need to be decontaminated before further processing or use. - CORRECT ANSWER:
True.
An ideal storage area has the following characteristics: - CORRECT ANSWER: The
ideal storage area is located close to the sterilization area. Speed and efficiency are
improved when supplies are stored as near as possible to the processing area. The
storage area should be at the end of a one-way workflow and convenient to the clean
elevator, dispatch and/or distribution point.
The area should also be closed to through traffic. Eliminating traffic minimizes the
possibility of contamination by the airborne route. It also decreases the chance that
packages will be accidentally damaged by passing traffic.

disinfection are not compatible, so must be rinsed thoroughly (i.e., detergent residue will

inserts.
Cart washers vs washer disinfectors? - CORRECT ANSWER: Cart washers are similar
but larger.
Characteristics of Proteins - CORRECT ANSWER: Insoluble in water, will coagulate with
heat, drying, and specific chemicals. Coagulated proteins can trap pathogens. This is
why the removal of protein before disinfection or sterilization is the prime objective of
cleaning in MDRD.
Community healthcare settings have less stringent standards? - CORRECT ANSWER:
False.
Containers to be stored on the top shelf for storage? - CORRECT ANSWER: No,
anywhere.
CSA Z314: what are the four levels of surgical barrier? - CORRECT ANSWER: Aerosol
