Question

76 multiple choice 1 point in a high microbial load environment, what additional steps should be taken when preparing a sterile field beyond the standard procedures? double the volume of sterile drapes without other changes rely exclusively on rapid autoclaving of instruments implement physical barriers, limit personnel movement, and use antiseptic sprays shorten the sterilization cycle to save time clear my selection

Explanation:

In a high - microbial load environment, physical barriers help prevent contamination, limiting personnel movement reduces the introduction of microbes, and antiseptic sprays can further decrease microbial presence. Doubling the volume of sterile drapes without other measures is not sufficient. Relying only on rapid autoclaving may not be reliable for all items, and shortening the sterilization cycle may not ensure proper sterilization.

Answer:

C. Implement physical barriers, limit personnel movement, and use antiseptic sprays
