    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

    D. "The estimated blood loss was 250 milliliters": This is the most appropriate information to include in the hand-off report. The estimated blood loss (EBL) is a key piece of post-operative information that can help guide nursing care, including monitoring for signs of hypovolemia or shock, and assessing for the need for interventions like fluid resuscitation or blood transfusion. It's clinically relevant and helps the nurse on the medical-surgical unit understand the client's post-operative status and needs.
