Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
Steel wool, wire brushes, scouring pads, or powders can scratch or remove the protective finish on metal and cause corrosion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The phases of the washer-decontaminator are cold water prerinse, alkaline detergent wash, neutral rinse, steam, and heat. The washer-decontaminator cleans with a spray force action and is similar to the washer-sterilizer with its cold water rinse to loosen blood and protein, an alkaline detergent with low suds, and a neutral rinse to prevent staining or corrosion, and steam and heat to render the instruments safe to handle at the end of the cycle.
