Answer to Question 1

D
The dorsal recumbent position provides full exposure of the female genitalia. The side-lying, prone, and high-Fowler's positions do not allow adequate exposure of the female genitalia.

Answer to Question 2

D
D. The circulating nurse has it removed from the sterile field.
A, B, and C. A sterile conscience means a nurse must know what is sterile, what is unsterile, and how to keep sterile and unsterile items apart. The practice of strict aseptic technique requires discipline, integrity, honesty, and assertiveness concerning any shortcomings in aseptic practice.
