Nursing Consideration
9. In shaving, follow the direction of the growth of the hair while the free hand exerts an opposite force by pulling the skin to the opposite direction.
10. If a wound is present on the area to be shaved, start from the clean area to the dirty area

Draping
![Page 91: Positioning, skin prep, incision & draping](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061417/55648485d8b42a73418b484f/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Draping
Definition: Is the procedure of covering patient and
surrounding areas with a sterile barrier to create
and maintain an adequate sterile field during
operation
![Page 92: Positioning, skin prep, incision & draping](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061417/55648485d8b42a73418b484f/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Nursing consideration in draping
1.Allow sufficient time to permit careful application
2.Allow sufficient space to observe sterile technique
3.Handle the drape as little as possible
4. If a drape becomes contaminated, do not handle it further.
![Page 93: Positioning, skin prep, incision & draping](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061417/55648485d8b42a73418b484f/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Nursing consideration in draping
5. If in doubt as to its sterility, consider it contaminated.
6. If end of sheet falls below waist level, discard it.
7.Never reach across the operating room table to drape the opposite side; go around the table
![Page 94: Positioning, skin prep, incision & draping](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061417/55648485d8b42a73418b484f/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
Nursing consideration in draping
8. Take the towel clips to the side of the table from which the surgeon is going to apply them before handling them to him
9. Carry the folded drapes to the operating room table, watch the front of the sterile gown; it may bulge and touch the nonsterile table or blanket of the patient...Stand well back from the nonsterile table.
![Page 95: Positioning, skin prep, incision & draping](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061417/55648485d8b42a73418b484f/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Nursing consideration in draping
10. Hold drapes high enough to avoid touching them on the blanket but avoid touching the light.
11. Do not let your gloved hand touch the skin of the patient.
12. Hold the linen high until it is directly over the proper area then lay it down where it is to remain.
![Page 96: Positioning, skin prep, incision & draping](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061417/55648485d8b42a73418b484f/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Nursing consideration in draping
13. If a drape is incorrectly placed, the circulating nurse discards it from the table without contaminating other drapes or site.
14. In unfolding the sheet on the operative site, toward the foot or the end of the table, protect the gloved hand by enclosing it in the turned back cuff of the sheet provided for that purpose.
![Page 97: Positioning, skin prep, incision & draping](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061417/55648485d8b42a73418b484f/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Nursing consideration in draping
15. A towel clip that has been fastened through a drape has its point contaminated. Removed it only if absolutely necessary then discard it.
16. Place a drape on a dry area.
![Page 98: Positioning, skin prep, incision & draping](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061417/55648485d8b42a73418b484f/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Criteria for effective drape material
1.Blood and fluid resistant to keep the drape dry and prevent migration of microorganism.
2.Lint free to prevent airborne contaminants and shedding into the surgical site.
![Page 99: Positioning, skin prep, incision & draping](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061417/55648485d8b42a73418b484f/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Criteria for effective drape material
3. Antistatic to eliminate risk of spark from static electricity.
4.Sufficiently porous to eliminate heat build-up so as to maintain an isothermic environment appropriate for pt body temp.

Criteria for effective drape material
5.Drapable to fit around contours of the patient, furniture, and equipment
6.Dull, nonglaring to minimize color distortion from reflected light.
7.Free of toxic ingredient, such as laundry residues, and nonfast dye.

Criteria for effective drape material
8.Flame resistant to self-extinguish rapidly on removal of an ignition source
