Question

You are gowning and gloving off of your mayo stand and rip a hole in your gown. What do you do?

Answer 1

when noticed a hole while gowing and glowing off one must take help of the scrub person. The scrub person may turn his or her gown with another scrubbed person or turn it with a nonscrubbed person (eg, the circulating nurse). If the scrub person turns with a nonscrubbed person, the scrub person hands the tie for turning to the nonscrubbed person; care must be taken to prevent the tie from striking the nonscrubbed person’s bare hand as it traverses the cardboard tab. This break in technique may go unnoticed, especially if it occurs quickly or if staff members are hurrying. One solution is to insist on turning with a scrubbed person; however, often this is not possible for the scrub person because no one else is scrubbed in at the time.
