Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
OSHA is authorized by law to enforce its standards and inspect health care facilities for compliance with standards.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The fire on the field is smothered with wet towels, and burning drapes are removed from the patient. The scrub person can provide saline-moistened tape to pack the surgical site, cover the site with a sterile towel or drape, and attempt to stay sterile to prevent infection. Although the safety of the patient is the main concern, the scrub person can attempt to maintain the wound and sterile field while the fire is being extinguished.
