Practice Question

 A charge nurse is providing teaching to a newly licensed nurse on how to clean surfaces contaminated with blood. Which of the following agents should the nurse include in the teaching?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Chlorine bleach

Rationale:

🔷 Chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlorite) is the recommended disinfectant for cleaning surfaces contaminated with blood or body fluids due to its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity.

🔷 The CDC recommends a 1:10 dilution of bleach for disinfecting blood spills to effectively kill HIV, HBV, HCV, and other bloodborne pathogens.

🔷 Bleach works by denaturing proteins and disrupting cell membranes, ensuring effective decontamination.

🔷 It is fast-acting, inexpensive, and widely available, making it the preferred choice in healthcare settings.

🔷 Other agents like hydrogen peroxide and alcohol are less effective against bloodborne viruses and do not meet OSHA or CDC standards for blood spill cleanup.
