At the completion of a surgical procedure, which type of disinfectant should the nurse use to wipe down tables and equipment?

High-level disinfectant
Low-level disinfectant
Intermediate disinfectant
Only sterile water and ammonia

Explanation

Answer: B-When wiping down tables and equipment, a low-level disinfectant should be used.

Low-level disinfectants are used for housekeeping and should not be used to clean instruments. Alternatively, high-level disinfectants are for instruments and should not be used for housekeeping.
