Mel, a surgical technology student, was assigned to a procedure scheduled as an incision and drainage of multiple traumatic wounds. The patient was transported to the OR from the ICU since being admitted following a hiking fall resulting in multiple deep lacerations to the torso and extremities, including a penetrating injury of the upper abdomen and an open femoral fracture.
