Which of the following measures can the nurse take to ensure adequate respiratory status and proper ventilation for the patient during the surgical procedure?
  1. Place the patient’s arms folded across their chest.
  2. Ensure that straps across the chest are secure but not overly tight.
  3. Place the patient in the lateral recumbent position.
  4. Both A and B
Explanation
Answer: B-The nurse can ensure adequate respiratory status and proper ventilation for the patient by ensuring the straps across the chest are secure but not overly tight. Some patients need to be secured to the operating table by using chest straps; however, straps that are too tight may not allow for proper chest expansion. Placing the patient’s hands across the chest may also restrict chest movement.
