    467. A self-retaining retractor is a

    • Weitlaner

    • Lincoln

    • Hibbs

    • Deaver

    Correct Answer
    A. Weitlaner
    Explanation
    A self-retaining retractor is a surgical instrument used to hold back tissue during a surgical procedure. The Weitlaner retractor is a commonly used type of self-retaining retractor. It features two or three curved prongs that can be locked into position, allowing the surgeon to maintain the desired level of tissue retraction without requiring an assistant to hold the retractor in place. The Lincoln, Hibbs, and Deaver retractors are not self-retaining retractors, making them incorrect options.

    421. Which factor is important to consider when positioning the aging patient?

    • Skeletal changes

    • Limited range of motion of joints

    • Tissue fragility

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    When positioning an aging patient, it is important to consider skeletal changes, limited range of motion of joints, and tissue fragility. Skeletal changes, such as osteoporosis or degenerative joint disease, can affect the patient's ability to maintain proper positioning and may require additional support. Limited range of motion of joints can make it difficult for the patient to move or adjust themselves, so proper positioning is crucial to prevent discomfort or injury. Tissue fragility, which is common in aging patients, means that their skin and underlying tissues are more prone to damage or breakdown, so positioning should be gentle and careful to avoid pressure ulcers or skin tears.

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    When positioning a patient for a procedure, maximum patient safety and maximum surgical site exposure can be achieved by ensuring that the patient's body does not touch the metal on the table, that equipment, Mayo stand, or personnel are not resting on the patient, and by padding bony prominences. These measures help prevent injury to the patient, maintain a sterile field, and provide optimal visibility and access to the surgical site.

    • A and B

    Correct Answer
    A. A and B
    Explanation
    The correct answer is A and B. The effective surgical scrub procedure involves using the time method and the brush-stroke method. The time method refers to scrubbing the hands and forearms for a specific duration, usually around 2-6 minutes, to ensure thorough cleaning. The brush-stroke method involves using a specific pattern of scrubbing motions, such as circular or back-and-forth motions, to cover all areas of the hands and forearms. By combining both methods, healthcare professionals can achieve a high level of cleanliness and reduce the risk of infections during surgical procedures.

    Correct Answer
    A. Dispersal of cancer cells
    Explanation
    During a breast biopsy, a breast scrub is either eliminated or done very gently because of the potential risk of dispersing cancer cells. Scrubbing the breast vigorously can cause the cancer cells to spread to other areas of the breast or even to other parts of the body, increasing the risk of metastasis. Therefore, it is important to handle the breast with care during the biopsy procedure to minimize the risk of cancer cell dispersal.
