Document Content and Description Below
patient. The patient asks if a family member should come to the appointment. Which is the best response by the nurse? a. “There is no need for an additional person at the appointment.” b. “Yo ... ur family can come and wait with you in the waiting room.” c. “We recommend including family members at this appointment.” d. “It is required that you have a family member at this appointment.” ANS: C Including family members in perioperative education is advisable.
