, ANS: A
For MAC, IV sedatives, such as the benzodiazepines, are given. Therefore,
the patient needs IV access. Inhaled and epidural agents are not included
in MAC. RNs who are trained and are allowed by agency protocols and
state nurse practice acts can provide moderate to deep sedation. However,
the provider of MAC must be an anesthesia care provider since it may be
necessary to change to general anesthesia during the procedure.
A patient in the surgical holding area is being prepared for a spinal fusion. Which
action by a member of the surgical team requires immediate intervention by the
charge nurse?
a. Wearing street clothes into the nursing station
b. Wearing a surgical mask into the holding room
c. Walking into the hallway outside the operating room with hair uncovered
d. Putting on a surgical mask, cap, and scrubs before entering the operating room
Give this one a try later!
ANS: C
The corridors outside the operating room (OR) are part of the semi-
restricted area where personnel must wear surgical attire and head
coverings. Surgical masks may be worn in the holding room, although they
are not necessary. Street clothes may be worn at the nursing station, which
is part of the unrestricted area. Wearing a mask and scrubs is essential
when going into the OR.
Which statements describe the role of the certified registered nurse anesthetist
(CRNA) on the surgical care team? (Select all that apply.)
a. Selecting and administering the anesthesia and adjuvant drugs
b. Developing and implementing a plan for delivering anesthesia
c. Managing critically ill surgical patients in the intensive care unit
d. Releasing or discharging patients from the postanesthesia care area
e. Establishing an airway and monitoring the patient's pulmonary status
