Question 1 of 24
← Back
Before a metal cuticle nipper is placed in disinfectant solution, it must first be washed with soap and water and scrubbed with a brush. What is the reason for this required first step?
A
Soap and water destroy the bacterial spores that would otherwise survive disinfection
B
Visible debris, oil and skin cells shield microorganisms from the disinfectant, so the product cannot perform as it was tested and registered
C
Washing activates the virucidal claim printed on the disinfectant label
D
Cleaning may be substituted for disinfection whenever the implement did not touch broken skin
