A nurse in the operating room helps the surgeon by using surgical instruments, providing suturing and handling tissue specimens. The most likely title of this nurse would be:
  1. Scrub nurse
  2. RN first assistant
  3. Circulating nurse
  4. Nurse anesthetist
Explanation
Answer: B-The most likely title of this nurse would be an RN first assistant. This type of nurse works in the perioperative setting but may have duties that exceed those of the circulating or scrub nurse. The RN first assistant usually assists the physician directly, but their actual scope of practice may vary between states.
