ATI PN Management Online Practice 2023 B, Answers
Explained
The nurse is using a forced air warmer for a surgical patient preoperatively. Which
goals are the nurse trying to achieve? (Select all that apply.)

a. Induce shivering.
b. Reduce blood loss.
c. Induce pressure ulcers.
d. Reduce cardiacarrests.
e.Reduce surgical site infection. - b. Reduce blood loss
d. reduce cardiac arrests
e. reduce surgical site infection
Evidence suggests that pre-warming for a minimum of 30 minutes may reduce the
occurrence of hypothermia.Prevention of hypothermia (core temperature < 36° C)
helps to reduce complications such as shivering, cardiac arrest, blood loss, SSI,
pressure ulcers, and mortality.

The nurse is caring for a postoperative patient with an incision. Which actions will
the nurse take to decrease wound infections? (Select all that apply.)

a. Maintain normoglycemia.
b. Use a straight razor to remove hair.
c. Provide bath and linen change daily.
d. Perform first dressing change 2 days postoperatively.
e. Perform hand hygiene before and after contact with the patient.
f. Administer antibiotics within 60 minutes before surgical incision. - a. maintain
normoglycemia
e. perform hand hygiene before and after contact with the patient.
Performing hand hygiene before and after contact with the patient helps to
decrease the number of microorganisms and break thechain of infection.
Maintaining blood glucose levels at less than 150 mg/dL has resulted in decreased
wound infection. Removingunwanted hair by clipping instead of shaving decreases
the numbers of nicks and cuts caused by a razor and the potential for the

,introduction of microbes. The patient is postoperative; administration of an
antibiotic 60 minutes before the surgical incisionsupports the defense against
infection preoperatively. Providing a bath and linen change daily is positive but is
not necessarily important for infection control. Many surgeons prefer to change
surgical dressings the first time so they can inspect the incisional area, but this is
done before 2 days postoperatively.
