Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Before the patient leaves the OR, the circulating nurse calls the PACU nurse to give report. The postoperative hand-off report provides information from the anesthesia provider (if one was in attendance), the surgeon (or appropriate designee, such as the first assistant), and the circulating nurse.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The circulating nurse's handoff report should include positioning and skin preparation, baseline assessment data, the condition of the dispersive electrode site, the use of specialized equipment in the OR, intraoperative irrigation fluids, medications used in the OR, implants, explants, transplants, dressings, drains, stents, urinary output, any indication of pain, and family information.
