When preparing a patient for surgery, what is an example of a suitable antiseptic for cleaning and preparing the surgical site?
  1. Hydrogen Peroxide
  2. Alcohol
  3. Hexachlorophene
  4. Chlorhexidine Gluconate
Explanation
Answer: D - Chlorhexidine Gluconate is an example of a suitable antiseptic for preparing the surgical site. Alcohol is a poor antiseptic when used alone because it is ineffective against bacterial spores and poorly effective against viruses and fungi. Hexachlorophene is never used because it is neurotoxic.
