Duraprep is categorized as which form?

• A. Paint
• B. Spread
• C. Gel
• D. Powder

Answer: (A)

The question tests how a skin prep product is delivered. Duraprep is an alcohol-based antiseptic that is applied as a thin, even coating onto the skin and allowed to dry, forming a dry film. That “paint-on” application is the defining characteristic of the paint form. It provides rapid coverage and a durable antiseptic film on the skin. It is not used as a spread (which would imply rubbing the liquid in with gauze), a gel (which is thicker and would not describe this product’s typical use), or a powder (which would leave particulates and isn’t how this prep is applied). So the correct form is paint.
