Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
A sterile field may consist of a sterile kit or tray, a work surface draped with a sterile towel or wrapper, or a table covered with a large sterile drape. A patient's bedside table is not sterile but can be a work surface where a sterile field can be applied.

Answer to Question 2

left
If the patient has been lying on one side, use the upper ear. Heat trapped in the ear facing down will cause a false high temperature reading.
