Correct Answer: B,C,D
Rationale: The correct answers are B, C, and D.
B: Moistening a cotton ball with sterile NS and placing it on the sterile field introduces moisture and potentially non-sterile material, contaminating the field.
C: Delaying the procedure for an hour increases the risk of airborne contaminants settling on the sterile field.
D: Turning to speak to someone who enters behind the nurse can lead to inadvertent contact with non-sterile areas, contaminating the field.
Incorrect choices:
A: While dropping a sterile instrument close to the field is not ideal, it may not necessarily contaminate the field unless it actually touches it.
E: Client's hand brushing against the outer edge of the field is a potential contamination point, but it does not directly contaminate the sterile field.
