What does decontamination involve?

Killing microbial life
Adding water to disinfectant
Cleaning visible blood and potentially infectious materials from surfaces
Storing tools

The correct answer is: Cleaning visible blood and potentially infectious materials from surfaces

Decontamination is the process of removing or neutralizing potentially harmful materials from surfaces or objects. While both options A and B may be involved in some decontamination processes, they are not the primary focus. Killing microbial life (option A) or adding water to disinfectant (option B) are both important steps in disinfecting surfaces, but they are not the same as overall decontamination. Similarly, storing tools (option D) may be a necessary step in certain industries, but it is not the same as decontaminating surfaces. The correct answer, option C, is the most thorough and accurate description of what decontamination involves - cleaning visible blood and potentially infectious materials from surfaces.
