Final answer:

A nonsterile surgical team member can complete tasks related to communication, coordination, and preparation for surgery.

Step-by-step explanation:

A nonsterile surgical team member can complete tasks such as confirming team members' introductions, reviewing critical events, reviewing concerns specific to the patient, reviewing confirmation of sterility and equipment availability, and reviewing items aloud with the team like the procedure name, needle, sponge, and instrument counts, specimen labeling, and equipment issues. These tasks do not require working in a sterile field or performing aseptic techniques. The goal of these tasks is to ensure proper communication, coordination, and preparation for the surgery.
