Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The priority is to ensure that informed consent is on the chart.The preoperative medications should not be administered until the nurse is confident the procedure will occur and the client has already signed the consent,if the medications include anxiolytics or sedatives or opioids.The provider should answer questions about the procedure.The nurse does show the family where to wait,but this is not the priority and could be delegated.
