1. Scrub person.
2. Circulating person.
3. First assistant.
4. Anesthesia administration.
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The scrub person is usually UAP. The role is to assist the surgeon.
Rationale 2: The role of circulating person cannot be assigned to UAP, because this person coordinates activities and manages client care by continually assessing client safety, aseptic practice, and the environment.
Rationale 3: The first assistant is a registered nurse, and has had additional education and training to deliver surgical care. This person assists the surgeon by controlling bleeding, using instruments, handling and cutting tissues, and suturing during the procedure.
Rationale 4: Anesthesia administration is the role of the anesthesiologist or certified registered nurse anesthetist.
