     Help
  • When are counts done in the OR?
    Before case begins, at cavity/wound closure, at skin closure
  • The initial count requires
    The count be done aloud by circulator and scrub
  • If a sponge pack contains an incorrect number of sponges, once the patient is in the room, the circulating nurse should
    Isolate the pack, put in bag, do not remove from the room
