Some herbs and supplements can interact with medications,so this information needs to be reported as the priority.An allergy to bee and wasp stings should not affect the client during surgery.Lactose intolerance should also not affect the client during surgery but will need to be noted before a postoperative diet is ordered.Lack of experience with surgery may increase anxiety and may require higher teaching needs,but is not the priority over client safety.
