Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
When loading a dry heat sterilizer, it is necessary to allow space between the items and along the chamber walls so that the hot air can circulate freely. The chamber is never loaded to full capacity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
Sterile supplies are not to be opened into the rigid container because the edges are not considered sterile.
