Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
If applied after a skin tackifier is placed on the skin, they will stay in place over the incision. Otherwise, they may fall off. They do not cause foreign body tissue reaction, they allow visibility of the healing wound, and they can be applied and removed rapidly.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Care must be taken to ensure that the implant does not pick up lint and dust. Gloves worn during handling must be entirely free of powder, skin oil, lint, dust, powder, and surface contaminants because they can evoke foreign body reactions around the implant in tissue.
