What is the purpose of covering reconstituted disinfectant solutions when not in
use?
A. The solutions may otherwise become contaminated.
B. The solutions may emit noxious fumes or odors.
C. The solutions may otherwise lose levels of concentration.
D. The solutions may expire more quickly.
Answer:
B
The purpose of covering reconstituted disinfectant solutions is that the solutions
may emit noxious fumes or odors. Disinfectant solutions can contain very
powerful odors because they are created from chemical compounds designed to
kill microorganisms. However, noxious odors and fumes from these chemicals
can become overwhelming to staff when left unattended and may be very
uncomfortable for the patient who is recovering.
