4 318 Chapter 31 Chapter Assignment Sheets LEARNING REVIEW Short Answer 1. Identify each entry below as an example that follows strict sterile principles or in which the sterile area, field, or tray is contaminated. Write sterile or contaminated in the spaces provided. If the entry is contaminated, write what was done to render it contaminated. A. Bruce Goldman, CMA (AAMA), collects used instruments handed to him by Dr. Mark Woo during a minor surgical procedure to excise an infected sebaceous cyst by placing the instruments in a separate container or area out of view of the patient. Contaminated. Used surgical instruments must be soaked, scrubbed, rinsed, dried, and autoclaved. B. Ellen Armstrong, CMA (AAMA), sets up a sterile field for a minor surgical procedure. After setting up the field, she remembers that a sterile solution is required and leaves the room to obtain the solution to be poured into a sterile cup. Contaminated. Do not turn your back on a sterile field. If you cannot see the field, you cannot be aware of what it touched. If work must be interrupted, apply a sterile field cover and move the tray to a place where it will not be disturbed. C. Wanda Slawson, CMA (AAMA), removes a dressing from a wound on a patient s arm and then reaches over the sterile field to discard the used dressing in a biohazard waste container that she has placed on the other side of the sterile field that she set up for the procedure. Contaminated. Reaching over a sterile field with contaminated waste will contaminate the field. The biohazard container should be placed away from the sterile area and in a position that does not necessitate reaching over or near the sterile field. D. Patient Edith Leonard will not stop talking and asking questions as Liz Corbin, CMA (AAMA), removes sutures from a small wound on Edith s arm sustained during a recent fall. The medical assistant is careful to time her responses to Edith so that she is not talking when she is working directly over the sterile field. Sterile. E. Anna Preciado, CMA (AAMA), applies sterile gloves in preparation to assist Dr. Lewis with a minor surgical procedure. During the procedure, she comforts the patient and assists the provider as required. When Anna s hands are not in use, she keeps them down at her sides, careful not to touch her gloved hands to her clothing or any other nonsterile item. Contaminated. Anything below the waist is considered to be outside of the sterile field and, therefore, contaminated. All articles should be held above the waist; gloved hands should be held in front of and away from the body, above the waist. 2. Living tissue surfaces, such as skin, cannot be sterilized. Name two examples of ways that skin can be rid of as many pathogens as possible before the use of a sterile covering. (1) Preparing the patient s skin with a surgical scrub solution before applying sterile drapes around the intended surgical site. (2) Using surgical hand washing technique before applying sterile gloves. 3. Identify and describe the most widely used method of sterilization in the ambulatory care setting. Steam sterilization is the most widely used method of sterilization in the ambulatory care setting. This technique uses an autoclave, or pressure cooker, to achieve sterilization. Through conversion to steam, water reaches temperatures greater than boiling (270 F). This high heat and at least 15 pounds of pressure eradicate all microorganisms and their spores _sg_ch31_ptg01_hr_315_328.indd 318
5 Chapter 31 Assisting with Office/Ambulatory Surgery List six general rules that ensure proper sterilization when using an autoclave. (1) Articles placed in the autoclave must have been sanitized, rinsed, and dried. (2) Articles are placed in such a way that all surfaces are adequately exposed. (3) Containers are placed on their sides with lids loosely in place to avoid trapping air pockets. (4) Only approved wrapping material is used. (5) Timing does not begin until gauges read 15 pounds of pressure and 270 F. (6) After the completed cycle, sterile, wrapped packs are left in the autoclave to cool and dry to prevent microorganisms from contaminating the items. 5. Identify the recommended requirements for effective sterilization in an autoclave. Temperature 270 F Time for sterilization of unwrapped items 20 minutes Time for sterilization of loosely wrapped items 30 minutes Time for sterilization of tightly wrapped items 40 minutes Frequency of draining of water and cleaning At least once a week; more frequently depending on use of autoclave Matching I Match the following equipment with the correct aseptic method. For each instrument or item below, identify the method used for proper asepsis: chemical disinfection (CD), chemical sterilization (CS), or steam sterilization (SS) in an autoclave. CD 1. Percussion hammer SS 2. Wrapped surgical instruments CD 3. Stethoscopes CS 4. Fiber-optic endoscopes CD 5. Countertops CD 6. Wheelchairs SS 7. Gynecologic instruments CD 8. Examination tables Matching II Identify each action that follows as an action appropriate to medical aseptic hand washing technique (MAH) or surgical aseptic hand washing technique (SAH). SAH 1. Do not apply lotion. SAH 2. Glove for sterility. MAH 3. 1 minute duration SAH 4. Hold hands up during washing and rinsing. MAH 5. Apply lotion. SAH 6. Wash hands, wrists, and forearms to the elbows.

Reaching over the sterile field is allowable with gloved hands. d. Some sterile objects are still considered sterile when wet. LEARNING APPLICATION Critical Thinking 1. What would be the rationale behind leaving a wound open rather than suturing it? On what basis would the provider make the decision? Students may need additional references to determine their answer to this question. Determining whether to suture a wound takes into consideration its location, depth, complexity, and size, as well as whether or not the wound is gaping. If a wound is gaping, it will usually heal quicker and with less scarring if the edges are approximated with sutures. Even if the wound is not gaping but is located on a portion of the body that bends, such as a knee or an elbow, suturing is desirable to minimize scarring. If a wound is deep or larger than a centimeter, suturing will probably aid healing and lessen complications. If a wound is several hours old, it is usually not suitable for suturing, due to the healing process that takes place in the first few hours. Sometimes a provider may choose to trim the healed edges to expose fresh tissue, and then proceed with suturing. If a decision is made not to suture a wound because of advanced healing, adhesive sterile strips may be used to pull the edges of the wound closer for the completion of the healing process. Sometimes a wound is infected and a decision will be made to leave a wound open to allow drainage. Occasionally a wick is placed into the wound to facilitate the drainage. Even though puncture wounds are often deep, they are usually not wide enough for suturing and are often left open for drainage. 2. While you are preparing a patient for surgery, he confides in you that he doesn t have anyone to drive him home, but he only lives three miles away and he can drive himself. How do you respond? If a patient is weak or impaired after surgery and hurts himself or herself or others while driving home, the provider may be held liable. If no one is available to drive the patient home, the patient should stay in the clinic until it is determined that he or she is no longer impaired _sg_ch31_ptg01_hr_315_328.indd 321
8 322 Chapter 31 Chapter Assignment Sheets 3. You have thoroughly explained the postoperative instructions to the patient and caregiver. Are written instructions also necessary? Why or why not? Written instructions are always given to the patient and caregiver and are explained to each until they are clearly understood. The clinic or office phone number and an after-hours number should also be written for patients so they can call if they experience any complications or need further instructions. Assure patients that comfort and safety are very important and encourage them to call with concerns and questions. A follow-up call later in the day or the next day should be standard practice. 4. While pouring a sterile solution into a bowl on the sterile field, you accidentally splash a very tiny amount of the solution onto the field. What is your next step? Explain your actions. The area has become contaminated and must be set up again with new equipment and supplies. Microorganisms from the tray can go through the towel on the sterile field. 5. During an incision and drainage of a localized infection you notice a large amount of exudates from the side. What precautions should you take? An incision and drainage of a localized infection should alert you to the very strong possibility of an exudate being expelled from the operative site. Therefore, prior to assisting with the procedure, you must prepare by protecting yourself with PPE and handling all surgical instruments, equipment, and supplies during and after the procedure according to OSHA and CDC guidelines. Case Studies CASE STUDY 1 Joyanna Evans, CMA (AAMA), is responsible for maintaining and cleaning the autoclave at Inner City Health Care. Because this equipment is used every day to sterilize instruments, Joyanna cleans the inner chamber of the autoclave daily. Once a week she gives the autoclave a thorough cleaning. CASE STUDY REVIEW QUESTIONS 1. Describe Joyanna s daily cleaning procedure. On a daily basis, the inner chamber of the autoclave should be washed with a mild detergent and cloth, then rinsed and dried. The outer jacket should be wiped clean of dust and soil. The manufacturer s instructions and recommendations for cleansers should be followed. 2. Describe Joyanna s weekly cleaning procedure. The autoclave is drained, filled with cleaning solution, run through a 20-minute heated cycle, drained of solution, filled with distilled rinse water, run through another 20-minute heated cycle, drained of rinse solution, and filled with distilled water again. Then the inner shelves are removed and scrubbed and the inner chamber is wiped clean. During the cleaning process, the autoclave s rubber seal should be inspected for cracks or wear. 3. Why is proper maintenance and cleaning of the autoclave important? Proper cleaning and maintenance of the autoclave are essential to ensure the sterility of instruments and equipment used in the ambulatory care setting, preventing the use of contaminated instruments in patient care _sg_ch31_ptg01_hr_315_328.indd 322
