Immediately prior to placing the client on a gurney for surgery, the nurse asks the client to remove ...

Immediately prior to placing the client on a gurney for surgery, the nurse asks the client to remove the partial plate dentures. The client becomes upset and states, "No one can see me without my teeth. I am so embarrassed by the way I look without them." What is the nurse's best response to the client?

▸ "I realize this is hard for you to do. I will ask the nurse in surgery to remove them for you after you go to sleep."

▸ "Why don't you take them out and drape this washcloth over your face so no one can see you without your teeth?"

▸ "Leaving your teeth in during surgery may cause injury to you or your teeth. Here is the cup for your dentures. Take them out right before surgery and then you can place them back in your mouth as soon as you wake up."

▸ "This is just something you have to put up with when you have surgery. No one knows you here so it won't be that embarrassing."
