Which of the following are potential nursing diagnoses related to patient positioning during the surgical procedure?

Body image disturbance
Impaired gas exchange
Alteration in nutrition, less than bodily requirements
Alteration in comfort

Explanation

Answer: B-Impaired gas exchange is a potential nursing diagnosis related to patient positioning during the surgical procedure. The patient needs to be placed in a position that allows for surgical access but that also keeps them properly ventilated. The nurse can ensure that the patient is in the proper position by adequately securing them to the table, monitoring for breaches in skin integrity and nerve damage, and ensuring their heart rate and respirations stay within normal limits.
