ANS: D
The environment must protect the wound from injury and microbial invasion. Reverse isolation may be practiced to protect the patient; all personnel must wear sterile attire, gowns, gloves, masks, caps, and shoe covers. The room temperature must be increased to prevent hypothermia because the patient's thermoregulatory mechanism is altered from damage to the skin, which acts as an insulator.
