A
The circulating nurse must be a registered nurse and has the responsibilities of preoperative assessment, establishing and implementing the plan of care, evaluating the care provided, and ensuring continuity of care postoperatively. The scrub nurse, who can be a registered nurse, a licensed practical nurse, or a surgical technologist, maintains the sterile field, assists with applying the sterile drapes, and hands sterile instruments and supplies to the surgeon.
