Audience Response Question During admission of the patient to the holding area or operating room before surgery, the perioperative nurse musta. Verify the patient’s understanding of
the risks of surgery.b. Ensure the patient’s identity with a
formal identification process.c. Prepare the skin by scrubbing the
surgical site with an antimicrobial agent.
d. Perform a preoperative assessment with a patient history and physical examination.
91Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Audience Response Question During the administration of any regional anesthetic, it is most important that the nursea. Monitor for ascending neurologic
depression and unconsciousnessb. Ensure that airway equipment,
emergency drugs, and monitors are immediately available
c. Monitor the patient’s response to the anesthesia, assessing the extent of loss of sensation
d. Have reversal drugs such as anticholinesterase agents (e.g., neostigmine [Prostigmin]) available in case of respiratory arrest
