Answer to Question 1

A
The only item the might be left in place is a hearing aid. If the patient will be required to follow instructions in the operating room, allow the patient to keep the hearing aid in place.

Prostheses can be lost or damaged during surgery and could cause injury. Oral appliances may occlude the airway.
