Flipping the drape in order to unfold it over the area which may cause it to waft through the air.
Holding the sterile drape high and away from the body until it is placed over the area to prevent it from touching any non-sterile surfaces.
Allowing the sterile drape to brush against the medical assistant's clothing while placing it on the patient.
