Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Accountability is accomplished by ensuring that proper precautions are taken to prevent errors from happening. The nurse can prevent wrong-site surgery by making sure that the surgical site is clearly marked and visible after the draping is completed. The surgeon could inadvertently operate on the incorrect site if the markings are covered by the surgical drapes. The other actions of the nurse are appropriate but do not demonstrate accountability and error prevention.
