Question Title

* 20. Which of the following statements defines “sterilization”?

The use of a physical or chemical procedure to destroy all microbial life including highly resistant bacterial endospores.

The process of removing blood and other visible contaminates from equipment

The use of a chemical procedure that eliminates virtually all recognized pathogenic microorganisms but not necessarily all microbial forms
