What is the prion disease that requires instruments to be processed differently than standard protocols?

  1. CJD

  2. MSA

  3. FMD

  4. ALS

The correct answer is: CJD

CJD, also known as Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, is a prion disease that requires instruments to be processed differently than standard protocols due to its unique characteristics. Prions are misfolded proteins that can resist standard disinfection and sterilization processes, which makes it crucial to have specific protocols in place for handling instruments used on patients with prion diseases like CJD. The other options (MSA, FMD, and ALS) are not prion diseases and do not require special instrument processing protocols.
