B. The patient drank coffee with milk five hours ago
C. the patient has a dialysis access device on the operative side
D. the patient's dominant hand is the same as the operative side - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔C. The
patient has a dialysis access device on the operative side
Rationale: The perioperative nursing assessment should include any medication conditions that
may be contraindicated during the preparation and care of the patient undergoing surgery.
Tourniquet use is contraindicated on limbs with a dialysis access device present because use of
the tourniquet on that limb will diminish blood flow to the fistula, increasing the risk for clot
formation in the fistula.
