Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Instruments are bagged before sterilization to protect them from becoming contaminated after sterilization, as well as to allow them to be grouped into special setups by procedure. Simply bagging instruments does not prevent rusting, so C is not the best choice. Therefore, D is the best choice as it correctly identifies both reasons for bagging instruments before sterilization.
