Answer to Question 1
B
The PACU nurse reviews the patient's information with the medical-surgical nurse, including the surgical and PACU course, physician orders, and the patient's condition. Before leaving the medical-surgical unit, the PACU nurse waits while the medical-surgical nurse obtains a complete set of vital signs to compare with PACU findings. Minor vital sign variations normally occur after the patient is transported. Vital signs may or may not be the first action in a head-to-toe assessment. Following policy or ascertaining that the floor nurse checks on the patient is not a reason to obtain vital signs.
