    In a dental office, clinical contact surfaces are defined as surfaces that can be directly contaminated during patient care.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Clinical contact surfaces in a dental office are surfaces that can come into direct contact with the patient during their treatment. These surfaces have the potential to be contaminated with bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens. It is important to regularly clean and disinfect these surfaces to prevent the spread of infections. Therefore, the statement that clinical contact surfaces are defined as surfaces that can be directly contaminated during patient care is true.

    Used dental instruments pose a very low risk of blood borne pathogen exposure.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because used dental instruments can indeed pose a risk of blood borne pathogen exposure. Dental instruments can come into contact with blood and saliva, which may contain pathogens such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV. If these instruments are not properly sterilized or disinfected, there is a potential for transmission of these pathogens to patients or healthcare workers. Therefore, it is important to follow strict infection control protocols and ensure proper sterilization of dental instruments to minimize the risk of blood borne pathogen exposure.

    An ambulatory surgery center and an urgent care facility are the same things.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    An ambulatory surgery center and an urgent care facility are not the same things. While both provide medical services, they serve different purposes. An ambulatory surgery center is a specialized facility where surgeries that do not require an overnight hospital stay are performed. On the other hand, an urgent care facility is designed to provide immediate, non-emergency medical care for conditions that require prompt attention but do not require a visit to the emergency room.

    The veterans administration (va) hospitals system has its own certification program for SPD (CS) Technicians.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the veterans administration (VA) hospitals system does have its own certification program for SPD (CS) Technicians. This means that individuals working in this role within the VA hospitals system can obtain a certification specific to their job duties and responsibilities. This certification program likely ensures that SPD (CS) Technicians within the VA hospitals system have the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their job effectively and safely.

    The number of ambulatory surgery facilities is decreasing nationwide

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the number of ambulatory surgery facilities is actually increasing nationwide. Ambulatory surgery facilities are becoming more popular due to their convenience and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional hospital settings. These facilities allow patients to undergo surgical procedures and return home on the same day, reducing the need for overnight hospital stays. The trend towards outpatient surgeries has led to a rise in the number of ambulatory surgery facilities across the country.

    • True

    • False

    Explanation
    Before the mid-1970s, surgeries were primarily conducted in hospitals. This implies that there were very few or no surgical procedures performed outside of hospital settings during that time period.

  • 8. 

    Ambulatory surgery centers specialize in providing surgeries that do not require hospitalization.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Ambulatory surgery centers are specialized facilities that focus on performing surgical procedures that do not require patients to be admitted to a hospital. These centers are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by highly skilled medical professionals who can perform a wide range of surgeries, from minor procedures to more complex operations. By providing specialized care in a dedicated setting, ambulatory surgery centers can offer patients a more convenient and efficient alternative to traditional hospital-based surgery. Therefore, the statement "Ambulatory surgery centers specialize in providing surgeries that do not require hospitalization" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Low temperature sterilization processes are not used in ambulatory surgery centers.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Low temperature sterilization processes are actually used in ambulatory surgery centers. These processes, such as ethylene oxide gas sterilization, are commonly employed to sterilize heat-sensitive medical devices and instruments. This allows for effective sterilization without compromising the integrity or functionality of the equipment. Therefore, the statement that low temperature sterilization processes are not used in ambulatory surgery centers is false.

    The statement suggests that in ambulatory surgery centers, the basic concepts of cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization are adjusted to meet faster timeline requirements. However, the correct answer is false, indicating that this statement is not true. This implies that the basic concepts of cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization in ambulatory surgery centers are not adjusted to meet faster timeline requirements.
