When preparing a client for surgery, the nurse realizes the operative permit has not been signed. the client tells the nurse he understands the procedure, but received his preoperative medication approximately 10 minutes ago. what would be the appropriate action by the nurse?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The nurse should cancel the operation as the permit has not been signed by the patient. Usually, the permit includes the procedure of the operation, and related health risks and complications associated with the operation. Therefore, it is required that the patient must sign the operative permit or any type of legal document before taking preoperative medication.
