Answer to Question 1

Answer: B, D, E

Intraoperative documentation is to include documentation about specific times, such as the start and stop times of anesthesia, antibiotic infusion times, and start and stop times of the procedure. The pain assessment and medication review are documented during both the preoperative and postoperative assessments.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C, D

An incision is classified as III-contaminated wound if gross spillage occurred. This classification is also identified if a major break in sterile technique occurred. An incision is classified as I-clean if the alimentary, respiratory, genital, and urinary tract are not entered. An incision is classified as IV-dirty, infected if the wound is necrotic and infected. An incision is classified as II-clean contaminated if there are no signs of infection but the alimentary, respiratory, genital, or urinary tracts were entered.
