Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
CHG is rarely irritating to the skin, but it is highly ototoxic and is irritating if splashed in the eye. It can cause permanent corneal damage.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A sterile gown, protective eyewear, mask, sterile gloves, shoe covers, and head cover must be worn by any person entering the sterile field. The gown differentiates the sterile from the nonsterile team member and prevents contamination at the field.
