Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
A circular knife within the head of the EEA stapler trims tissue to produce a round lumen as the stapler is fired. The result is a circular anastomosis and two distinct tissue rings, intact circles of tissue from the anastomosed region referred to as donuts. These are sent as two separate specimens to be examined for intactness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Use a needle holder with appropriately sized jaws for the type of needle being used. Select an appropriately sized needle holder for the area of tissue to be sutured. Clamp the body of the needle in an area one-fourth to one-half the distance from the eye to the point. Close the needle holder on the first or second ratchet. Pass the needle holder with the needle point up and directed toward the surgeon's thumb. Hold the free end of the suture material and guide it while passing the needle holder.
