Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2

1. Before the client is taken from the preoperative area, medications are entered on the preop checklist so that they do not need to be reviewed immediately prior to surgery.
2. The universal protocol requires the surgical team to perform a timeout immediately prior to surgery to verify the correct client, site, positioning, and procedure.
3. Laboratory results are reviewed before the client is taken to the operating room.
4. Surgical scrub is not repeated immediately prior to surgery.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3

1. Removal of skin lesions is considered minor surgery, and the client goes home when the surgery is complete.
2. The client is usually placed on acetaminophen or ibuprofen after surgery.
3. Removal of lesions is considered a low-risk surgery.
4. Minor skin surgeries do not usually require reconstruction.
