The nurse is helping the health care provider perform a sterile procedure at the bedside. Halfway through the procedure, the nurse believes the health care provider has contaminated the sterile field. The nurse should:

Ask the health care provider whether she contaminated her glove and the sterile field.

Point out the possible break in surgical asepsis and provide another set of sterile gloves and a fresh sterile field.

Not say anything, because it is near the end of the procedure.

Report the health care provider for violating surgical asepsis and endangering the patient.
