Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chlorhexidine is commonly used for surgical hand scrubs due to its broad-spectrum activity against bacteria and low risk of skin irritation. Phenol, chlorine bleach, and glutaraldehyde are too harsh for skin application and can cause skin irritation or burns. Soap can also be used for hand hygiene but may not provide adequate antimicrobial activity for surgical procedures.
