Answer: D - The least significant information given to the client is the level of pain felt during the procedure since typically anesthesia is given so that the client will not feel pain during the procedure. In addition, the level of pain is a subjective data point. The client should be informed about the pre-procedure medications that will be given, especially those drugs that will prevent excessive bleeding during and after the procedure. For example, Vitamin K may be given days before to prevent hemorrhage. In addition, the physician may need to temporarily discontinue some medications that could lead to hemorrhage such as anti-platelets and blood thinners.
