Nurse -usually I’m not needed for anything critical -so I can scrub out. If the pants fall down that doesn’t make you un-sterile. Only if I touch them. I could have stood there without pants. If it was that I couldn’t leave the pt. – I’d have the nurse pull them up or just stand there with pants down. But of course I decided to scrub out -knowing that I’m not going to be needed. And guess what -I was needed. I tried to do something quietly and the whole place found out anyway. BTW, you CAN’T always scrub out, even though you can scrub in again -there are times you just can’t leave.
