When a nurse is preparing a sterile field using a drape provided in a sterile pack, he or she would touch
1. The anterior surface of the drape.
2. The outer 1-inch border of the drape.
3. The posterior aspect of the drape.
4. The top inner corners of the drape.
Question 2
An instructor teaches a group of nursing students about sterile technique in long-term care facilities. A student demonstrates understanding by saying:
1. Long-term care is a residential setting, so sterile technique is not important.
2. Residents do not have the need for procedures that require sterile technique.
3. The rate of infection varies widely from one facility to another, so no standards are enforced.
4. The variety and number of pathogens in a nursing home is just as concerning as it is in a hospital setting.
