Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The purpose of prerinsing or presoaking instruments is to soften or remove the blood and debris from instruments. This also prevents debris from drying on instruments making it harder to remove.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
If the outer glove is punctured, the inside glove provides some protection from contaminates. Any puncture of a glove requires a complete glove change, even if double gloved.
