Answer:

Option E; STERILIZED

Explanation:

Critical medical device means a medical device that penetrates the skin or mucous membranes, enters sterile tissues/vascular system, or enters normally sterile cavities and therefore presents a high risk of infection if the medical device is contaminated with any organisms, including bacterial spores. Example of such instrument is forceps.

Sterilization refers to any process that eliminates, removes, kills, or deactivates all forms of life (fungi, bacteria, viruses) present in a specific surface, object or fluid,

Sterilization is different from other methods like from disinfection, sanitization, and pasteurization, in that those methods reduce rather than eliminate all forms of life and biological agents present.

Critical medical instruments touch sterile tissues and also penetrates the skin, so it has to be sterilized so as to get rid of all contaminants to prevent any risk.

Therefore, instruments that are considered medically "critical" must be STERILIZED.

When a woman is giving birth, the head of the baby pushes against her cervix and stimulates the release of the hormone oxytocin.
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Positive feedback

Explanation:

Positive feedback is a process taking place in the organisms during which the output or the end product of the process causes the process or action o occur continuously or it stimulates the process to go on. A loop of action is formed during the positive feedback mechanism.

During labour, the production of oxytocin hormone plays an important role in the uterine contraction which allows the birth of the baby.

The production of oxytocin during labour is considered positive feedback as the oxytocin-induced contraction and the contraction causes more oxytocin to be released until the baby is born.

Thus, Positive feedback is the correct answer.
