What is the preferred method of sterilization for materials that can be damaged by moisture?

  1. Chemical sterilization

  2. Dry heat

  3. Filtration

  4. Radiation

The correct answer is: Chemical sterilization

Chemical sterilization is the preferred method for materials that can be damaged by moisture because it does not involve the use of water or steam, which can harm certain materials. Chemical sterilization uses liquid or gas chemicals to kill microorganisms on equipment and supplies. Dry heat, filtration, and radiation are not ideal for materials that can be damaged by moisture. Dry heat involves the use of high temperatures, filtration is used for removing particles rather than sterilization, and radiation may not be suitable for all types of materials.
