Patient Education

Patient Education ( 14 Questions)

As a patient is arriving in the recovery area following a cesarean delivery, the health care team member receives a hand-off report from the anesthesia provider.

Which information should be included in this report? (Select all that apply.)



Correct Answer: ["A","B","C","D"]

The correct answer is choices A, B, C and D. The type of anesthesia used, the estimated blood loss during surgery, the vital signs and oxygen saturation, and the allergies and medications given are all important information to be included in the hand-off report from the anesthesia provider to the recovery area staff.

These information help to assess the patient’s condition, monitor for complications, and plan for appropriate interventions.

Choice E is wrong because the Apgar scores of the newborn are not relevant to the patient’s recovery from cesarean delivery.

The Apgar scores are used to evaluate the newborn’s physical condition at birth and are usually reported by the neonatal team.

The recovery area staff should focus on the patient’s postoperative care and pain management.
