CNOR Operating Room Nursing

Answer: C-Scrubbing the hands with an antimicrobial soap and donning sterile gloves before performing any operative techniques will work to reduce the chance of infection in the surgical environment. Limiting the numbers of people in the area and wearing surgical masks and gloves are important but other patient areas, such as the nursing station and the holding room are outside of the surgical field. Additionally, wearing a long-sleeved jacket during the surgical preparation can contaminate the patient’s skin.
