A scrub person should not gown and glove from the main field, but rather use a separate surface to place an open gown and gloves after scrubbing

Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

ANS: T
The gown and gloves for the scrub person should be opened on a Mayo stand or prep table separate from the main sterile field. The person establishing the sterile field should not gown and glove from the main field because the risk of contamination is higher than gowning and gloving from a separate surface.
