The compound that should be used by Emmanuel is isopropyl alcohol (option b).
- When used topically, isopropyl alcohol, which is chemically propane alcohol, has antimicrobial properties.
- It has both bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects.
- It kills microorganisms while also preventing their future growth when applied to wounds or skin cuts.
- When its 70% solution is applied topically for antiseptic purposes, it produces medicinal benefits.
- Because of the antiseptic properties of iso propyl alcohol, Emmanual should apply it to his wound to prevent microbial proliferation.
