Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Instruments that have been wiped can be immersed in a basin of sterile demineralized distilled water, not saline solution. The sodium chloride in saline solution is corrosive and can damage the surface of the instrument. Bloody instruments should not soak in a basin of solution for a prolonged period.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Because of the heat generated when using electrical instruments, the surgeon usually has the assistant use a bulb syringe to drip saline solution on the area to cool the bone and wash away particles. The syringe must not touch the blade.
