Tissue Integrity Test 6 Practice

What is the first step in the correct wound irrigation sequence?

Place Waterproof Pad Under the Patient Remove the Gloves Pour Sterile Solution Into Sterile Irrigation Containers Allow the Solution to Gently Flow Over Wound

Correct Answer:

Pour Sterile Solution Into Sterile Irrigation Containers

Explanation:

Maintaining a sterile field is essential for wound irrigation. Pouring sterile solution into sterile irrigation containers creates a clean reservoir that you will use to irrigate the wound, preventing contamination of the fluid and the wound itself. This step ensures you have a ready, uncontaminated source of irrigation fluid before you start directing any flow to the wound. The other actions are important parts of the procedure but come after this setup: placing a waterproof pad protects the surface, removing gloves is part of cleanup, and letting the solution flow over the wound is the irrigation action itself, which should occur once the sterile setup is in place.
