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?

A. "The estimated blood loss was 250 milliliters." This is a relevant clinical detail that directly impacts the client’s postoperative care. It provides important information for ongoing assessment of fluid status, potential for anemia, and need for interventions. B. "The client was intubated without complications." While important during surgery, this is less relevant in the postoperative period unless the intubation caused complications or the client remains intubated. It does not guide current nursing care. C. "There was a total of 10 sponges used during the procedure." Sponge counts are part of surgical safety and accountability, but they are not typically necessary in nursing hand-off unless a retained item is suspected. D. "The client is a member of the board of directors." This is not clinically relevant and could breach confidentiality or bias care. Hand-off reports should focus solely on the client’s medical condition and nursing care needs.
