Question

You are asked to mop the surgery room floor after all the surgeries have been done. When you go to do this, you are unable to find the surgery room mop. You know there is a mop for the kennel area. Should you use this mop? Why or why not?

Answer 1

No, you should not use the mop being used in the kennel area to clean the surgery room as it can contaminate the surgery room and also the tools or equipment in the surgery room. If the surgery room got contaminated, it can also contaminate the patient during a surgery, which can lead to health problems.
