Which of the following is an appropriate method for sterilizing a set of surgical instruments?
Gamma radiation
Dry heat sterilization
Autoclaving
Ethylene oxide
Autoclaving is the correct method for sterilizing surgical instruments because it uses saturated steam under pressure to achieve a high temperature that is effective at killing all forms of microbial life, including spores. Dry heat sterilization is used for materials that might be damaged by moist heat, ethylene oxide is a gas used for items that can't withstand high temperatures, and gamma radiation is a method for disposable medical supplies that cannot be autoclaved.
