Answer:

B: Alveolar dead space

Explanation:

Alveolar dead space is considered as total number of alveoli having little or no blood passing through the pulmonary capillaries adjacent to it. This means that the series of alveoli located in the left lower lobe are actually well ventilated but lack perfusion, and thus this can make certain that there is no exchange in gas.

Answer:

b. Alveolar dead space

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the statement that would best indicate that the nurse understands the condition would be "Alveolar dead space". This is because, this is the name of the condition being described by the pulmonologist. It is the sum of the volumes of the alveoli that are ventilated but not perfused due to almost no blood flowing through their pulmonary capillaries.

What is the medical term for the process or procedure that destroys or inhibits disease-causing microorganisms to prevent infect
Simora [160]

Answer: Sterilization.

Explanation:

Sterilization is the process that kills, or deactivates all forms of life so then a product is considered free of viable microorganisms. This process must be designed, validated and carried out to ensure that it is capable of eliminating the microbial load of the product.

Since sterility cannot be demonstrated without causing the complete destruction of the products, <u>sterility is considered when the probability of a product being contaminated is acceptably remote.</u> A critical product is considered sterile when the probability of a microorganism being present in an active or latent form is equal to or less than 1 in 1,000,000 (sterility safety factor 10^-6).

Agents that kill microorganisms are called microbicides or more commonly called "germicides". If the agent kills bacteria, it is called a bactericide. And if it kills fungi, then it is called a fungicide. It is important to consider than <u>after an exposure of the sterilized object to the air or its surroundings, it will have become contaminated again with microorganisms.</u>

Examples of sterilization include physical methods and chemical methods. Physical methods include:

  • Wet heat (in steam autoclave)
  • Dry heat (in sterilization oven)
  • Radiation (gamma radiatio, electron beam, X-ray, ultraviolet, microwave, white light)

Chemical methods include a variety of chemicals in liquid and vapor form, for example:

  • Hydrogen peroxide
  • Chlorine dioxide
  • Ozone gases
  • Ethylene oxide
  • Propylene oxide
  • Peracetic acid
