What does sterilization aim to destroy?

  1. A. Emotional disturbances

  2. B. All microorganisms

  3. C. Blood clots

  4. D. Sound impressions

The correct answer is: B. All microorganisms

Sterilization aims to destroy all microorganisms, which includes bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores. This process is crucial in healthcare settings to ensure that any instruments or surfaces that come into contact with patients are free from potentially harmful pathogens, thereby preventing infections. Achieving complete sterilization is essential for maintaining a safe and hygienic environment during medical procedures. The other choices do not pertain to the purpose of sterilization. Emotional disturbances relate to psychological issues, blood clots refer to a medical condition concerning the coagulation of blood, and sound impressions involve auditory experiences, none of which are affected by the process of sterilization.
