Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
With a moist sponge, wipe blood and organic debris from instruments promptly after each use. Saline, blood, and other solutions can cause corrosion and damage surfaces. Blood and debris that are allowed to dry on instrument surfaces, in box locks, and crevices increase the bioburden that can be carried into the surgical site.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
Manual retractors are often used in pairs, and they are held by the first or second assistant. Before holding a retractor, make sure it is in your scope of practice or facility policy for your position.
