Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Once gloved, a nurse's hands are not to go below his or her waist; therefore, touching the surgeon's thigh would contaminate the nurse's gloves. Hands are always to be kept above waist level. Shoe covers are not sterile. Personal protective equipment is designed to protect caregivers, not the client, 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.
