Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
All needles have three components, they are classified according to the type of point they have cutting, taper, and blunt.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Avoid spilling the fluid within the suture packet onto the sterile field; do not remove the suture from the packet until ready to use the stitch to avoid having the alcohol evaporate; dip the strand momentarily in saline to soften it slightly; unwind the strand carefully before handing it up; do not pull or stretch the suture, which will weaken it.
