Which of the following actions must the nurse consider when setting up or using a laser unit for surgery?
  1. Place the foot control device near all other foot pedals below the table so the surgeon has easy access to the device.
  2. Leave liquids and solutions placed next to the laser device instead of placing them directly on top of the equipment.
  3. Move laser equipment carefully to avoid running into objects and damaging internal components.
  4. Only allow the physician to remove the outside component of the laser equipment if the machine malfunctions.
Explanation
Answer: C-The nurse must move laser equipment carefully to avoid running into objects and damaging internal components. Depending on the type of equipment, laser units may be difficult to move, or transporting may not be the responsibility of the perioperative nurse. However, movement of this equipment involves careful consideration for the route of choice to avoid bumping the equipment or causing damage. This could lead to equipment malfunctioning, which can be very dangerous when trying to use the laser in future surgeries.
