ANS: A
Surgical instruments need to be cleaned and sterilized. Disinfecting, boiling, or cleaning is not utilized on critical items that will be reused on patients in the hospital environment. Items that are used on sterile tissue or in the vascular system present a high risk of infection if they become contaminated with bacteria.
