Medical Surgical Nursing Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Trevor Gilbert, 59, arrives at the ambulatory surgery department as instructed prior to his back surgery. The baseline history taken on Mr. Gilbert should include:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A preoperative assessment should include the patient's history, but the focus should be particularly on his expectations of this particular hospitalization. Knowledge about whether he received his childhood immunizations is important, but his reactions to those, even if he knows what they were, is not the most important information to gain today. The type of diet he's on is good information, but again not the most important information listed here. It is vital to determine the patient's expectations of his surgery, in order to correct any misperceptions he may have about the outcome, or reason, for this invasive treatment.
