During a laser procedure in the operating suite, which of the following precautions are essential for the safety of the entire healthcare team?
  1. A sign should be posted at the entry warning others of the use of laser technology inside.
  2. Everyone in the room should wear eye protection at all times.
  3. The patient’s face should be covered with a towel during the procedure to protect from the laser.
  4. Both A and B
Explanation
Answer: D-During a laser procedure, a sign should be posted at the entry warning of the use of laser technology inside and everyone in the room should wear eye protection at all times. Laser technology has the capacity to permanently damage eye tissue, so anyone who is unaware of its use and enters a room could potentially sustain damage. Additionally, the patient should have protective eyewear and not just a towel covering the face.
