ATI Comprehensive 2024 Exit Exam with NGN -Nurselytic

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. When setting up a sterile field, it is essential to maintain sterility. By removing the cap and placing it sterile-side up on a clean surface, the nurse ensures that the inside of the cap, which will come into contact with the sterile solution, remains uncontaminated. Placing the cap sterile-side up prevents any potential contaminants from coming into contact with the solution. This practice follows aseptic technique guidelines to prevent the introduction of pathogens.



Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not address the key principle of maintaining sterility. Placing sterile gauze over spilled solution (
B) can introduce contaminants to the field, holding the bottle in the center (
C) does not prevent contamination, and the orientation of the label (
D) does not affect sterility.
