    A nurse in a PACU is transferring care of a client to a nurse on the medical-surgical unit. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the hand-off report?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. The number of sponges used during surgery is important but does not provide as much relevant information for postoperative care. B. The intubation status is relevant to the immediate perioperative period, but the primary concern in hand-off is the current postoperative condition. C. Estimated blood loss is an important clinical detail to convey during hand-off, as it may impact the client's recovery and need for monitoring. D. The client’s position or professional role (e.g., being a board member) is not relevant to the care plan and should not be included in the hand-off report.
