Answer to Question 1

D
D. Unscrubbed persons should always stay at least 1 foot away from the sterile field while keeping it in constant view and should contact only unsterile areas.
A and C. Sterile persons must keep their hands in view, above waist level, and below neckline to avoid contamination.
