In preparing your metal tools for sterilization, what needs to be done before finally placing them into a dry sterilizer?
A. Wipe them dry
B. Label each tool
C. Soak them in soap water
D. Place a sterile cotton in the sterilizer​.


Sagot :

The correct answer is A. Wipe them dry.

Sterilization of metal tools typically involves cleaning them thoroughly to remove any visible debris or contaminants. After cleaning, the tools should be dried to ensure there is no moisture left, as moisture can interfere with the sterilization process in a dry heat sterilizer.

Moisture can also lead to rusting of the metal tools over time. Therefore, wiping the tools dry ensures that they are clean and free of moisture before placing them into the dry sterilizer, where they will undergo the sterilization process.

[tex]\large\bold{Clarifications}[/tex]

  • B. Label each tool. While labeling tools may be important for organizational purposes, it is not directly related to the preparation of tools for sterilization.
  • C. Soak them in soap water. Soaking in soap water is a cleaning step, but after cleaning, the tools should be rinsed and dried, not soaked, before sterilization.
  • D. Place a sterile cotton in the sterilizer. This is not a standard step in preparing metal tools for sterilization in a dry sterilizer. The focus should be on ensuring the tools themselves are clean and dry.

Therefore, option A, wiping the tools dry, is the correct step to prepare metal tools for sterilization in a dry sterilizer.
