Answer to Question 1

B, D
Benefits of double gloving during surgery include decreasing the risk for exposure to bloodborne pathogens for surgical team members and decreasing the risk for surgical wound infection for the patient. Double gloving significantly reduces perforations to the innermost glove. Handwashing remains the cornerstone of surgical asepsis.

Answer to Question 2

C
C. When irrigating a wound, be sure that the flow of irrigation moves from the area being cleansed to an area that is both distal to it and lower. In wound care the area being cleansed is considered clean and the surrounding skin surfaces are considered contaminated without respect to whether the wound is infected. Within the wound the irrigation flow is directed from healthy tissue toward infected tissue.
A. Within the wound the irrigation flow is directed from healthy tissue toward infected tissue.
B. Irrigating solutions are sterile.
D. The suture line is the least contaminated area and is always cleansed first.
