Explanation

Answer: A-When performing a surgical skin prep on a patient, it is important for the nurse to avoid allowing the prep solution to collect underneath the patient in large amounts. Pooling solution may irritate the patient’s skin. It may also create more of a mess through the procedure that will take longer to clean up when the prep is complete.
