  2. The nurse verified that it was the patient who signed the form.
  3. The patient understands the risks of the procedure.
  4. The nurse has provided verbal and written information about the surgical procedure.

  1. Reinforce the dressing with additional gauze pads.
  2. Remove the surgical dressing to assess the site directly.
  3. Replace the surgical dressing with fresh dressings.
  4. Reinforce the tape edges of the dressing.
