Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing a sterile field. Which of the following actions should the nurse perform when opening the sterile pack?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. When opening a sterile pack, the nurse should reach around the pack and open the top flap away from the body to prevent contamination. This action helps maintain the sterility of the contents inside. Opening the pack in this manner also minimizes the risk of accidentally touching non-sterile surfaces.
Choice B is incorrect because moving to the opposite side of the pack can increase the chances of contamination.
Choice C is incorrect as placing the pack on a sterile work surface is essential but not specific to the act of opening the pack.
Choice D is incorrect because opening the right flap with the left hand can lead to contamination as it may involve crossing over non-sterile areas.
