Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The braided pattern of silk sutures can harbor microorganisms; therefore, silk is not used when an infection is present.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
McBurney's incision involves a muscle-splitting incision that extends through the fibers of the external oblique muscle. The incision is deepened, the internal oblique and transversalis muscles are split and retracted, and the peritoneum is entered. Its primary use is for appendectomy.
