The nurse is caring for a client in Stage 2 of general anesthesia. Which is a priority nursing intervention?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Keeping the environment quiet and calm is the priority nursing intervention during Stage 2 of general anesthesia as the client may experience agitation, delirium, and involuntary muscle movements during this stage. Assisting the anesthesiologist in repositioning the client, completing the surgical scrub, and inserting the indwelling urinary catheter may be necessary interventions, but they are not the priority during this stage.
