AAMA CMA Practice Question

When a medical assistant prepares a sterile field before a minor in-office surgical procedure, which action BEST maintains sterility of the field throughout the draping process?

  • Flip or shake the drape overhead to unfold it quickly before placement.

  • Reach across the sterile field to reposition instruments located on the far side.

  • Allow the sterile drape to brush against personal clothing while placing it on the patient.

  • Hold the sterile drape high and away from the body until it is positioned, ensuring it does not touch any non-sterile surface.
