When pouring a substance in a sterile field, pour the solution into a container on a sterile table or held by another person in sterile attire. Pouring quickly increases the risk of splashing the substance. Standing three feet away avoids contamination but may limit the ability to pour correctly. Putting an item in the trash on the other side of the table may contaminate the space if the nurse has to reach over the sterile field.
