What is the appropriate treatment for minor surgical instruments before sterilization?

  1. Disinfection with bleach

  2. Wiping with a damp cloth

  3. Soaked in alcohol

  4. Cleaned with soapy water

The correct answer is: Cleaned with soapy water

The appropriate treatment for minor surgical instruments before sterilization is to clean them with soapy water. This step is crucial in removing debris and contaminants from the instruments before the sterilization process. Disinfection with bleach, wiping with a damp cloth, and soaking in alcohol are not sufficient for proper cleaning of surgical instruments and may not effectively remove all contaminants, putting patients at risk of infection.
