Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Jaws with an insert of solid tungsten carbide with diamond-cut precision teeth are designed specifically to eliminate the twisting and turning of the needle in the needle holder. These diamond-jaw needle holders can be identified by the gold plating on the handles.

ANS: A
To prevent possible injury, pass instruments around the incisional area rather than over it.
