a medication is being drawn up to add to the sterile field. which item is not sterile during the procedure?\nvial containing the medication\nneedle hub on the syringe inserted in the vial\noutside of syringe used to draw up medication\nhand holding the syringe
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
In a sterile - field procedure, the hand holding the syringe is in contact with the non - sterile environment and is not sterile. The vial containing the medication is considered sterile until opened in a non - sterile way. The needle hub on the syringe inserted in the vial can be kept sterile if proper technique is followed. The outside of the syringe used to draw up medication can be kept relatively clean but is not the most non - sterile item compared to the hand. The hand is in direct contact with the external, non - sterile surroundings.
# Answer:
D. Hand holding the syringe
