Using these principles the nurse sets up a sterile field using a sterile towel to cover the tray. She dons sterile gloves and places instruments, sponges, and antiseptic solution on the tray. The nurse then demonstrates these principles step-by-step as she prepares the sterile field and performs a dressing change. She washes her hands and assembles all necessary items including the waterproof bag for wastes, cleaning solutions, dressing materials, and instruments. The basic set is opened and the wrapper is spread to provide a sterile field. A hemostat is removed and placed on the tray conveniently for handling the sterile items. The soiled dressing is removed, inspected, and discarded in the waterproof bag. The wound is then inspected.
