Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Iodophors are compounds that release iodine slowly and are used as disinfectants. Betadine is the only option listed that is an iodophor, making it the best choice. Chloramines and chlorhexidine are not iodophors, and tincture of iodine is not as effective as an iodophor due to the rapid evaporation of the iodine. Alcohols do not contain iodine and are not considered iodophors.
