Answer to Question 1

A, C
Part of the role of the scrub nurse is to perform sponge, sharps, and instrument counts with the circulating nurse before an incision is made, at the beginning of wound closure, and at the end of the surgical procedure.

Answer to Question 2

A
The bladder scan is most commonly used to measure postvoid residual (PVR); it is the least invasive method of making this determination.
