Explanation

Question 5 of 25

1

A farmer is struggling with infectious interdigital dermatitis in his dairy herd. After consulting with his veterinarian, he has decided to invest in a foot bath system. Since he knows a bit about the antimicrobial capabilities of isopropyl alcohol, he would like to use this (in diluted form) as his foot bath chemical. Why would you advise against this?

Select one of the following:

  • Alcohols are volatile and flammable

  • Isopropyl alcohol is not effective against all microbes

  • Isopropyl alcohol would be inactivated by the organic materials in the foot bath

Explanation

Question 6 of 25

1

As a technician is cleaning the runs to the clinic’s dog room, she runs out of 10% bleach. In an effort to complete her cleaning, she grabs a bottle of color-safe bleach from the laundry room and decides to dilute it to 10% with tap water to make a working solution of bleach. What is a concern with this procedure?

Select one of the following:

  • Water should not be used as a diluent, as it inactivates the chloride compound

  • Color safe bleach is just a diluted form of regular bleach, so her dilution makes it too weak

  • Color safe bleach is different than regular bleach, and has less disinfection capabilities

  • She shouldn’t be using bleach at all, as dogs are very sensitive to chlorine

Explanation

Question 7 of 25

1

Chlorhexidine is a commonly used antiseptic used in veterinary medicine. All except one of the following are true regarding chlorhexidine. Which is incorrect?

Select one of the following:

  • Chlorhexidine is effective against both enveloped and naked viruses

  • Chlorhexidine maintains residual activity on skin surfaces

  • Compared to alcohol, chlorhexidine resists inactivation by organic matter

  • Chlorhexidine can be damaging as an otic preparation if the tympanic membrane is ruptured

Explanation

Question 8 of 25

1
