Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
Knife blades should be removed with a heavy hemostat, never with your fingers. A needle holder should not be used because it can misalign the jaws.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
Because the scrub person dismantles the sterile field, this person keeps the mask, eyewear, and all protective equipment on so as not to be splashed or exposed to the contaminated supplies and instruments.
