As explained, holding the bottle directly over the sterile field can result in contamination. It's crucial to pour the solution from above or to the side of the sterile field, making sure the bottle doesn't touch the field or anything in the field. This minimizes the risk of contaminating the sterile setup.

If solution is spilled on the sterile field, that area is contaminated, and you cannot make it sterile again by covering it with gauze. The correct approach would be to discard the contaminated items and set up a new sterile field.

When performing a sterile procedure, after removing the cap from a sterile bottle, the cap should be placed sterile-side up on a clean surface or a sterile field. This is because the sterile side of the cap should not touch any non-sterile surfaces, and placing it sterile-side up ensures it stays sterile.
