True
|
Page251
|
|
What are 6 adverse effects assoicated with hydrotherapy?

|
|
|
When cleaning a whirlpool after a patient who had an open wound, what should the PTA use first, detergent or disinfectant?
|
The detergent should be used first because most disinfectants are inactivated in the presence of blood or tissue debris.
