Explanation:

A perineal scrub is done to clean the area and reduce the risk of introducing contaminants into the uterus and vagina during fetal delivery. Sterilization is not complete sterility in this context. Episiotomy is not routine and not the main reason for the scrub. Rectal examination is not the primary purpose.

To decrease uterine and vaginal contamination
