Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
A sterile vest put on over the gown covers any exposed back area of the scrub attire but does not render the back sterile.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
AORN recommends that those people using a brushless/waterless surgical hand and arm cleansing should wash their hands before applying the antisepsis solution. The antiseptic does not remove debris from under the nails and hands.
