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: C
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: C
Rationale: When pouring the sterile solution, the nurse should remove the cap and place it sterile-side up on a clean surface to prevent contamination. Placing the cap sterile-side up ensures that the inner part of the cap, which will come into contact with the solution, remains sterile. This action helps maintain the sterility of the solution and prevents introducing contaminants into the wound during irrigation.
Summary of other choices:
A: Placing sterile gauze over spilled solution within the sterile field is incorrect because it could introduce non-sterile items into the field, compromising its sterility.
B: Holding the irrigation solution bottle with the label facing away from the palm of the hand is irrelevant to maintaining sterility during pouring.
D: Holding the bottle in the center of the sterile field when pouring the solution does not address the issue of maintaining the sterility of the cap or preventing contamination.
