Prepare client for insertion of 18-gauge peripheral IV prior to surgery.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>E. Verify consent form is signed by the client.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>G. Remind client to be NPO prior to surgery.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Explanation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Preparation for IV Insertion (B):<\/strong> Before surgery, establishing a reliable intravenous (IV) access is essential for administering medications, fluids, and potential blood products. An 18-gauge IV catheter is often preferred in surgical settings due to its ability to accommodate larger volumes of fluids and blood products if necessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Verification of Consent (E):<\/strong> It is crucial to ensure that the client has signed the consent form before proceeding with the surgery. This form confirms that the client understands the procedure, its risks, and its benefits. Verifying that the consent form is signed protects both the client\u2019s rights and the healthcare provider\u2019s legal and ethical responsibilities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>NPO Instructions (G):<\/strong> Clients are generally instructed to be NPO (nil per os, or nothing by mouth) for a certain period before surgery to minimize the risk of aspiration during anesthesia. This is a standard precaution to ensure that the stomach is empty, reducing the risk of complications.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Not Typically Required for General Preparation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Complete Blood Count (A):<\/strong> While a complete blood count (CBC) may be ordered in some cases to assess the client\u2019s overall health and identify any potential issues such as anemia or infection, it is not always a standard preoperative requirement unless specified by the surgeon or anesthesiologist.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rh, D Immune Globulin (C):<\/strong> Administering Rh immunoglobulin is not a routine part of preoperative care unless the client is Rh-negative and there is a specific indication for it based on their medical history or potential exposure to Rh-positive blood.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Assisting with Blood Products (F):<\/strong> Assisting with the administration of blood products is usually not a preoperative task. It is typically done during or after surgery if needed based on intraoperative blood loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Explaining the Surgical Procedure (D):<\/strong> While it is important for the client to understand the procedure, this is usually done by the surgeon or a specific member of the surgical team rather than the nurse preparing for surgery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The nurse is preparing the client for surgery.
