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.
