Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adjusting the patient's drape after placement will result in contamination of the field. Drapes are placed on a patient to maintain the sterile field and are usually secured in place with clips. Once they are in place, they should not be moved or adjusted, as this can contaminate the area near the incision. Drapes should remain in place throughout the procedure unless they become torn.
