CHAPTER NINETEEN. Ultraviolet C
++
++
++
The optimal wavelength used to kill bacteria in a wound bed using ultraviolet C is
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
The amount of time it takes to kill bacteria in a wound bed using UVC is
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
The photochemical reaction caused by the application in UVC causes what proteins in the DNA of bacteria to bind, leading to cell death?
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
How far should the UVC source be held from the wound bed?
++
++
++
a. The distance the UVC light source is held from the wound bed is irrelevant.
++
++
b. The UVC light source should be held directly against the wound bed.
++
++
c. 2.54 cm (1 inch) without any dressings in place.
++
++
d. 2.54 cm (1 inch) with a transparent film covering the wound bed.
++
++
++
Which of the following conditions has been reported as a contraindication or precaution for the use of ultraviolet C in the treatment of wounds?
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
d. All of the above have been reported
++
++
++
According to the law of cosines, the ultraviolet source should be held
++
++
++
a. At any angle to the wound bed, as the position of the light source is irrelevant.
++
++
b. At a 90° angle to the wound bed.
++
++
c. At a 30° angle to the wound bed.
++
++
d. Directly parallel to the wound bed.
