Which type of instrument would one choose in order to increase visibility, ease manipulation in the incision, and expose desired organs?

Forceps
Retractors
Curettes
Hemostats

Explanation

Answer: B - In order to increase visibility, ease manipulation in the incision, and expose desired organs, one should choose a retractor. Retractors are either manual or self-retaining. Manual retractors require an assistant to manipulate, while self-retaining retractors allow a surgeon to work alone or the assistant to perform other duties.
