A nurse is reviewing the preoperative checklist of a client who is going to have a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Which of the following items should be completed before transferring the client to the operating room?
Removing dentures, glasses, contact lenses, jewelry and nail polish is part of the physical preparation of the client before surgery. These items can interfere with the anesthesia, cause injury, or be lost during the procedure.
