A nurse is caring for a female patient who is scheduled for an abdominal hysterectomy. The nurse obtains the patient's signature on the consent form and then signs the form himself. The nurse's signature indicates that
 
  1. The patient does not have any questions about the surgery.
  2. The nurse verified that it was the patient who signed the form.
  3. The patient understands the risks of the procedure.
  4. The nurse has provided verbal and written information about the surgical procedure.

Question 2

A nurse is caring for a patient who returned from abdominal surgery 6 hours ago.
 
  The nurse notes that the abdominal dressing is nearly saturated with serosanguineous drainage and that a small amount of drainage is leaking from the lower edge of the dressing. The nurse's best action is to
 
  1. Reinforce the dressing with additional gauze pads.
  2. Remove the surgical dressing to assess the site directly.
  3. Replace the surgical dressing with fresh dressings.
  4. Reinforce the tape edges of the dressing.
