While completing item number 4 in the preoperative preparation section of the fo

While completing item number 4 in the preoperative preparation section of the form pictured above, the nurse notes that the patient depends on a hearing aid. What action should be taken by the nurse?

1. Leave the device in the patient’s ear and notify the OR nurse of its presence.
2. Remove the device and place it in a denture cup in the patient’s room.
3. Remove the device and give it to the patient’s family member.
4. Place a piece of tape across the patient’s ear and the device.

1 -- The patient must be able to hear and understand instruction that will be part of the universal protocol to reduce surgical errors, so the nurse should leave the device in the patient’s ear and notify the OR nurse of its presence. Removing the device and placing it in a denture cup in the room or giving it to the family will make it unavailable to the patient in the OR. Taping the device into the ear might damage it or cause injury to the patient’s ear.
