B. open box locks and ratchets. C. flush suction lumens with normal saline. D. immerse light cords in a standard enzymatic solution. - Answer>> open box locks and ratchets. Rationale Instruments should be opened and not closed so that the enzyme solution spray or foam can begin the process of breaking down any blood or debris. - Answer>> Saline is not used on instruments because it pits them and can damage instruments. Light cords should not be immersed in any liquid. For instruments with a lumen, the lumen itself should be manually cleaned with A. a soft cloth. B. a soft brush. C. a sterile saline flush. D. 10% bleach solution. - Answer>> a soft brush. Rationale A soft brush can be used to clean inside a lumen, but a soft cloth cannot go inside the lumen.
