B. flammable solutions will not ignite
C. combustible solutions have a flash point above 100.0 F
D. Combustible solutions will not ignite - (answer)C. combustible solutions have a flash point
above 100.0
The threshold between flammable and combustible solutions is the flash point of 100.0 F, with
flammable ones being below this temperature and combustible ones being above. all saturated
flammable solutions should be removed prior to draping the patient. Fumes from volatile or
combustible solutions may ignite w/o a direct connection to the source of ignition.
,Which of the following is the most important action by the circulating nurse to reduce specimen
error?
A. seeking clarification from the surgeon about the specimen site and side
B. calling the lab to confirm the proper storage solution for the specimen
C. asking the scrub person to verify the specimen
D. paging the surgical assistant post op to identify the specimen - (answer)A. seek clarification
from the surgeon about the specimen site and side
using the nursing process, nursing interventions lead to
A. planning
B. implementation
C. assessment
D. outcomes identification - (answer)D. outcomes identification
outcomes identification describes the desired patient condition that can be achieved through
nursing interventions
a hemostatic agent that may be used by a neurosurgeon to control bleeding bone is
A. heparin
B. protamine sulfate
C. methylene blue
D. bone wax - (answer)D. Bone Wax
Bone Wax is a hemostatic agent used to control bleeding from open bone via the creation of a
mechanical tamponade barrier
