Question 1 of 5
A nurse is setting up a sterile field to perform wound irrigation for a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take when pouring the sterile solution?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because 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 in contact with the solution, remains sterile. Placing the cap sterile-side up prevents contamination and maintains the integrity of the sterile field.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Placing sterile gauze over spilled solution does not address the primary concern of maintaining sterility. Holding the bottle in the center of the sterile field or with the label facing away from the palm does not directly impact the sterility of the solution.
Therefore, they are not the best actions to take when pouring the sterile solution during wound irrigation.
