- Antiseptic is used on skin and mucous membrane to kill microorganisms.
Checklist for Assessment Activity Use the following checklist to see if you have met all the requirements for assessment activity:
Part A Differentiated between the following:
-
Physical agents and chemical agents. Physical agents are methods of sterilization and disinfection that use physical processes to kill or eliminate microorganisms. These include heat, radiation, and mechanical processes. Chemical agents, on the other hand, use chemical reactions to kill or eliminate microorganisms. These include disinfectants, antiseptics, and sterilants.
-
Sterilization and disinfection. Sterilization is the process of killing or eliminating all forms of microbial life, including spores, which are resistant to harsh conditions. Disinfection, on the other hand, is the process of killing or eliminating most, but not all, forms of microbial life. Disinfection does not kill spores, and therefore, is not as effective as sterilization in controlling microbial populations.
