Question 5 of 5
During the draping procedure, the anesthesia provider asked the scrub person for two towel clamps to secure the top of the unsterile edge of the drape to the intravenous (IV) poles. The scrub person had two penetrating and two nonpenetrating clamps on the back table. She knew she would need to secure the suction and electrosurgical pencil to the sterile field as soon as draping was finished. How should the scrub person respond to the anesthesia provider's request for towel clips?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Choice D as nonpenetrating clamps secure drapes to IV poles without compromising sterility or count integrity. Refusing (choice A) ignores team needs, penetrating clamps (choice B) risk damage, and delaying (choice C) disrupts workflow. Nonpenetrating clamps are ideal for unsterile edges, preserving sterile field items for surgical use. This reflects perioperative nursing's balance of safety, efficiency, and collaboration, ensuring the anesthesia provider's request is met without delaying critical setup tasks like securing suction and electrosurgical tools.
