Question 1 of 5

The nurse reviews the completed pre-operative assessment.Select the findings on the assessment that require follow-up

Correct Answer: B,D

Rationale: Assessment items requiring follow-up include the informed consent not yet obtained by the surgeon. Before further preoperative activities may continue, the nurse must ensure this is completed to avoid unnecessary diagnostic testing and intervention. Additionally, the client will not be permitted to drive themselves home after this procedure because this involves general anesthesia. Activities requiring significant concentration, operation of heavy machinery, or driving are typically prohibited 24 hours following the initiation of general anesthesia.

The other assessment findings do not require intervention. ID banding and verification are expected during the preoperative process. The client's ID will also be verified in the intraoperative and postoperative processes. Medications such as phenytoin can be taken with a sip of water to prevent seizure activity. The client has been NPO for approximately eight hours, sufficient time to prevent aspiration.
