Which of the following is necessary for the nurse to have in the room during a femoral-popliteal bypass?
  1. Hand-held Doppler
  2. Cell-saver
  3. Surgical stapler
  4. Both A and C
Explanation
Answer: A-During a fem-pop bypass, the nurse should obtain a hand-held Doppler. A Doppler is necessary to check circulation in the foot following the vein anastomosis. The Doppler is typically used to locate the pedal pulse. The patient’s angiography results should be made available during the procedure in order to determine patency of the vessel or graft.
