A medical assistant is preparing the autoclave to sterilize Instruments. Which of the following items is required to properly process the Instruments?

A. Implied: Implied consent is assumed in certain situations where immediate treatment is necessary and no formal consent is given, but it does not involve a detailed explanation of risks and benefits.
B. Informed: Informed consent requires that the provider fully explains the risks, benefits, and alternatives of a treatment plan to the patient, ensuring the patient understands and agrees to the plan.
C. Indirect: Indirect consent is not a recognized term in medical consent practices.
D. Implicit: Implicit consent refers to situations where consent is assumed based on the patient's actions, rather than a detailed explanation of risks and benefits.

A. "Clean the perineal area from back to front.": For females, cleaning should be done from front to back to avoid contamination from fecal matter. For males, cleaning should be done around the urethral opening.
B. "Void a small amount into the toilet before voiding into the cup.": This helps to flush out any contaminants from the urethra, ensuring that the urine collected in the cup is as clean as possible.
C. "Urinate directly into the container with preservative.": Urinating directly into a container with preservative can contaminate the sample and is not recommended for a clean catch specimen.
D. "Collect all urine from start to finish.": The clean catch method specifically involves discarding the initial stream of urine and collecting the midstream to avoid contaminants.
