Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
Because bowel gases are flammable, the rectum should be packed with a moist sponge before using the ESU.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
Because alcohol and fat solvents are flammable, if they are not completely dry before draping, the vapors under drapes or around pooled material on or around the skin can ignite.
