Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
Do not conduct the interview on the morning of the procedure unless there is no other choice because patients are not psychologically receptive to teaching at this time. Some preoperative preparations are made in the surgeon's office, and then patients are referred to a preoperative testing center.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
The physician is responsible for obtaining the informed consent from the patient or legal designee. It is signed after explaining the procedure, risks, benefits, and alternatives. It is documented and becomes part of the patient's permanent chart.
