What are hospital disinfectants designed to clean?

  1. Porous surfaces in the home

  2. Blood and body fluids on nonporous surfaces

  3. General household items

  4. Personal protective equipment

The correct answer is: Blood and body fluids on nonporous surfaces

Hospital disinfectants are specifically formulated to effectively clean and disinfect nonporous surfaces that are contaminated with blood and body fluids. This capability is crucial in healthcare settings, where there is a high risk of infection due to the presence of pathogens in biological specimens. These disinfectants are designed to eliminate bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms that may be present on surfaces that are not able to absorb liquid, ensuring a higher standard of cleanliness and safety for patients and healthcare workers alike. Other options do not reflect the primary purpose of hospital disinfectants. While porous surfaces in the home, general household items, and personal protective equipment may require cleaning and disinfecting, they do not fall under the same stringent guidelines and defined purposes as hospital disinfectants, which are tailored for medical environments.
