Exhibits The nurse is preparing the client for surgery. Which of the following actions should the nurse take? Select all that apply

Based on the given information, the nurse should take the following actions in preparation for surgery: Obtain a complete blood count: This is important to assess the client's hemoglobin, hematocrit, and other blood parameters before surgery. Prepare the client for insertion of an 18-gauge peripheral IV prior to surgery: Adequate IV access is necessary for the administration of fluids and medications during and after surgery. Administer Rh, D immune globulin prior to surgery: This action is indicated if the client is Rh-negative and there is a possibility of fetal-maternal blood mixing during the termination of pregnancy. Rh, D immune globulin is given to prevent sensitization to Rh-positive blood. Verify consent form is signed by the client: Ensuring that the client has provided informed consent is essential before proceeding with any surgical intervention. Remind the client to be NPO (nothing by mouth) prior to surgery: It is important for the client to have an empty stomach to reduce the risk of aspiration during anesthesia. The following actions are not indicated based on the given information: Explaining the surgical procedure to the client: Although it is important for the client to have an understanding of the procedure, this is typically done by the surgeon rather than the nurse. Assisting with administration of AB positive blood products if needed: There is no indication of the need for blood products based on the information provided. Blood product administration would be determined based on the client's specific condition and surgical requirements.
