A client is having robotic surgery. The circulating nurse
observes the instruments being inserted, then the surgeon
appears to break scrub when going to the console and
sitting down. What action by the nurse is best?
a. Call a time-out to discuss sterile procedure and scrub
technique.
b. Document the time the robotic portion of the procedure
begins.
c. Inform the surgeon that the scrub preparation has been
compromised.
d. Report the surgeons actions. - CORRECT ANSWER
>>ANS: B
During a robotic operative procedure, the surgeon inserts
the articulating arms into the client, then breaks scrub
,to sit at the viewing console to perform the operation. The
nurse should document the time the robotic portion
of the procedure began. There is no need for the other
interventions.
