Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following techniques should an MA use for the routine cleaning of EKG cables?

dry wiping

disinfection

An MA should use disinfection for the routine cleaning of EKG cables. Dry wiping (A) may remove visible dirt, but it does not effectively sanitize or remove bacteria. Soaking in bleach (C) is too harsh for the cables and may damage them. Washing with soap (D) may also damage the cables and is not an effective method for sanitizing medical equipment. Disinfection is the best choice as it effectively kills germs and bacteria on the cables without causing damage.
