Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Remove the cap and place it sterile-side up on a clean surface.
Rationale:
🔵 When pouring sterile solutions, the cap should be placed sterile side up to maintain sterility and prevent contamination.
🔵 The bottle must be held with the label facing the palm to prevent smearing the label if liquid drips.
🔵 Holding the bottle over the sterile field or placing gauze on spills contaminates the field, necessitating setup of a new sterile area.
🔵 These steps preserve the integrity of the sterile field and prevent infection.
