Solution and Explanation

The Operation Theatre (OT) is divided into zones to maintain sterility and ensure safe surgical practices.
The main zones are:
1. Protective Zone: The outer area that includes patient waiting areas, changing rooms for staff, and pre-op preparation rooms.
It limits unauthorized entry and helps maintain cleanliness.
2. Clean Zone: This zone connects the protective and sterile zones.
It includes scrub areas, sterile supply rooms, and corridors for staff to prepare before entering the OT.
3. Sterile or Aseptic Zone: The core area where surgeries are performed.
This zone must be free from germs and includes operating rooms and scrub areas for surgeons.
4. Disposal Zone: For handling and disposing of used instruments and waste materials after surgery.
Proper zoning controls infection and ensures smooth OT workflow.
