CNOR Operating Room Nursing

Answer: D-When using a cuff from a pneumatic tourniquet, the surgeon should verify the position of the cuff before use; the nurse should also document the location, time of inflation, and time of deflation of the cuff. These measures are essential to ensure patient safety while using the cuff, as significant damage can occur with improper use. By documenting the use of the cuff, as well as verification for use by the surgeon, the nurse protects both themself and the patient.
