Prior to a patient going into the surgical suite, the nurse anesthetist assesses the patient's previous experience with anesthesia and answers any questions the patient might have about the anesthesia plan for the case
The nurse anesthetist is conducting which of the following patient care activities? 1. Preanesthetic preparation and evaluation
2. Induction
3. Maintenance
4. Peri-anesthetic clinical support
Preanesthetic preparation and evaluation
Rationale: The certified registered nurse anesthetist provides patient care in four categories. The first category is that of preanesthetic preparation and evaluation, which includes assessing the patient's previous experience with anesthesia and answering any questions the patient might have about the anesthesia plan for the case. During induction, the patient is initially provided anesthesia. Maintenance describes anesthesia being continually provided throughout the duration of the surgical procedure. In peri-anesthetic clinical support, the nurse anesthetist would provide fluids or medications to support the patient's physiological functioning while the surgical procedure is being conducted.
