    M7 Activity 2

    1. Explain the effectiveness of 70% alcohol as antiseptic compared to the action of 40%
    and 95% alcohol on the protein of the microorganism and the cell of the wound.

    Because 95% alcohol is too strong, it is less effective. It evaporates too


    95% alcohol
    quickly, even before it can reach the germs and kill them.

    Because of its water content of 30%, the antiseptic containing 70%


    alcohol is more effective. Water is an essential ingredient that kills
    70% alcohol
    bacteria, fungus, and other viruses by denaturing their proteins and
    dissolving their lipids.

    40% alcohol The 40% alcohol isn't strong enough to kill bacteria and viruses.

    2. Which is more effective as an antiseptic: ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol? Choose


    only one and explain why.

    Answer Isopropyl alcohol


    Isopropyl alcohol is a more effective antiseptic than ethyl alcohol
    because it works faster and is simpler to use. Isopropyl alcohol, unlike
    ethyl alcohol, is less effective in dehydrating living tissues, making it a
    Explanation
    better option for antiseptics. Ethyl alcohol, on the other hand, requires
    time and action to react and can dry up skin, and it should not be used
    without the addition of other substances.
    3. Which is more effective as a disinfectant: ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol? Choose
    only one and explain why.

    Answer Ethyl alcohol


    Ethyl alcohol is a more effective disinfectant since it is a virucidal
    Explanation disinfectant due of its bactericidal and antifungal properties, whereas
    isopropyl alcohol is ineffective against non-enveloped viruses.
    4. What is the difference between cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting?

    It is the removal of dirt, debris, impurities, and germs from visible


    Cleaning
    surfaces.

    It is the process of reducing or lowering the amount of germs on objects


    Sanitizing
    or surfaces to a safe level.
    It is the process by which disinfectants, which are chemicals capable of
    Disinfecting eliminating and destroying pathogenic organisms that might cause
    infections, are used.
