2,3,5 -- Rationale 1: Positioning is of prime importance throughout the procedure, which usually takes an hour.
Rationale 2: Mild sedation may be given during the procedure.
Rationale 3: Nursing care after the procedure includes monitoring for biliary colic, which can result from the gallbladder contracting to remove stone fragments. The patient with biliary colic is often nauseated.
