Question: 1 / 400

Which statement is true regarding the surgical scrub?

The scrub should be done as quickly as possible

The scrub can still be completed if the practitioner has an open cut

The scrub should stop at the elbow

The scrub should go 1-2 inches above the elbow

The statement that the scrub should go 1-2 inches above the elbow is correct because, in surgical practice, effective hand hygiene is critical in minimizing the risk of infection. During a surgical scrub, it is essential to clean not just the hands and wrists but also up the forearms to ensure that any microbes present on the skin are thoroughly removed before entering the sterile field.

By extending the scrub to 1-2 inches above the elbow, the practitioner is ensuring that bacteria and contaminants do not simply migrate back down to the sterile areas during surgical procedures. This practice supports the overall protocol of maintaining sterility and protecting the patient from potential infections during surgery.
