Accepted Answer

If the product directions don't specify otherwise, let surfaces air dry before decontaminating the back of your ambulance following a call.After the patient has been transported, the CDC guidelines advise leaving the ambulance's rear doors open to allow ample air exchange to eliminate any possibly contagious particles. The duration required to move the patient to the receiving facility and finish all paperwork should allow for adequate air exchange.It's crucial to make a thoughtful disinfection selection. Not all cleaning supplies are appropriate for this use. Some, like bleach, can harm equipment or release toxic fumes, and many are ineffective in eliminating infectious germs.Thus, it follows that after a call, surfaces should be allowed to air dry if the product instructions don't tell you otherwise before decontaminating the back of your ambulance.LEARN MORE ABOUT DECONTAMINATION HERE: https://brainly.com/question/28087039#SPJ1
