A novice nurse says, "We plan to keep our clients in stage 4 anesthesia during their surgery." How should the supervising nurse respond to this statement?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The novice nurse's statement is incorrect as the goal of anesthesia is to avoid Stage 4. The supervising nurse should correct their understanding and provide an explanation for why Stage 4 is not desirable during surgery. Option B is incorrect as it praises the novice nurse's statement as a good description, which is incorrect. Option C is also incorrect as Stage 4 does not refer to the recovery period but rather a state of deep anesthesia that is not ideal for surgery. Option D mentions "anxiolysis anesthesia," which is not a commonly used term in anesthesia and may not accurately address the novice nurse's misunderstanding.
