I an OR manager, fairly new to this. (not OR, but management) I have a new nurse in the OR, no OR experience, mainly floor nursing that wanted a change. Well this is my question.
I am having a hard time teaching her how to prep the pt's surgical site. She is insisting on starting at one point and then treking across the incision site. I have taught her time and time again to start at the incision site and make a circular motion leading outward, never coming back to the incision site with the same sponge. Does anyone know of some printed material(with pictures)that i could print for her to show her what I mean? I would appreciate any help that anyone may have for me. I am so frustrated with this. Thanks!!
