Question

Lakesha was culturing bacteria. She used aseptic technique to make sure there was no contamination. When she was finished, she used water to clean the surface of her table. She then put the sample in the incubator, removed her gloves, and washed her hands with soap and water.

Answer 1

d. She should be using a disinfectant on her table, not just water.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Lakesha finished culturing the bacteria, she should not have used water alone to clean the table because water can't kill bacteria. She has to use a disinfectant in order to remove bacteria from the table. This disinfectant has the ability to kill all the bacteria that is present at the table and there is no chance of infection from these bacteria. So we can say that she made a mistake to clean the table with just water and not using the disinfectant over it.
