Question

"You are gowning using the closed cuff method. With the assistance of the circulator, you slid your arms into the gown sleeves the full distance they should go. Where should your fingertips be now in relation to the gown cuff?"

Answer 1

The fingertips should be at point of attachment of the cuff to the sleeve

Step-by-step explanation:

In the closed cuff method, the gown is picked up from the wrapper by holding onto the exposed inside top layer.

The picked up gown should be handled by holding the region close to the neck of the gown, at the same time avoiding contact of the gown with your body or other objects that are unsterile

The arms are then slid into the gown sleeves with the hands at the shoulder level to avoid contact with the body of the gown

The arms are then further slid into the sleeves with the assistance of the circulator to the point where your fingertips are at the midpoint of the attachment of cuff and sleeve
