Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sleeves of a sterile surgical gown are considered sterile only to 2 inches above the elbows,so touching the surgeon's upper arm would contaminate the nurse's gloves. Shoe covers are not sterile. Personal protective equipment is designed to protect caregivers,not the patient,and is not part of aseptic technique. Staff members such as the circulating nurse do not have to perform a surgical scrub before entering the OR.
