Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
During a robotic operative procedure, the surgeon inserts the articulating arms into the client, then breaks scrub to sit at the viewing console to perform the operation. The nurse should document the time the robotic portion of the procedure began. There is no need for the other interventions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
All MIS procedures have the potential for becoming open procedures depending on findings and complications. The client's consent should include this possibility. The nurse should report this finding to the surgeon prior to surgery taking place. Having allergies noted and an allergy band applied is standard procedure. Not having any prior surgical or anesthesia exposure is not the priority. Maintaining NPO status as prescribed is standard procedure.
