How are floors within operating suites designed to protect nurses and staff during surgical procedures?
  1. They have non-slip surfaces to reduce the incidence of falls.
  2. They contain wicking materials that move excess moisture away from the location where a person is standing.
  3. They contain protective coverings that allow for extra cushioning for those who must stand for long periods of time.
  4. Both A and C
Explanation
Answer: A-The floors within surgical suites have non-slip surfaces to reduce the incidence of falls. These floors are typically non-porous and easy to clean so that they do not harbor bacteria. The operating suite is designed to be maintained at a level of cleanliness that allows it to become as close to sterile as possible. Providing flooring that is clean and not slippery will reduce microorganisms as well as prevent injuries related to falling.
