During a sterile dressing procedure, a student reaches over a sterile field and is about to contaminate it. What should the clinical instructor do first?
Correct answer: B. Stop the action and explain the contamination risk
- A. Allow the procedure to continue without comment
- B. Stop the action and explain the contamination risk
- C. Complete the whole procedure for the student
- D. Wait until the end of the clinical day to mention it
Explanation
The instructor should intervene immediately to prevent contamination and protect patient safety, then explain the reason and allow the student to repeat the step correctly. Delayed feedback or silently taking over misses the learning opportunity and may place the patient at risk.
