1 -- Communication will be enhanced if the patient can keep glasses and hearing aids for as long as possible. The nurse will need to check with the surgical department first before granting the patient’s wish. As a patient advocate, the nurse is responsible for making an inquiry. The nurse does not have the authority to make decisions on behalf of the surgical department and should not give information that may be inaccurate.
