Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The scrub nurse role includes maintaining asepsis in the operating field. The other actions would be performed by the circulating nurse.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The patient with arthritis may require special positioning to avoid injury and postoperative discomfort. Preoperative anxiety (unless severe) and having a sip of water 3 hours before surgery are not contraindications to having surgery. An allergy to cats and dogs will not impact the care needed during the intraoperative phase.
