Question

A client is preparing for open heart surgery. The provider gave her a bottle of chlorhexidine and told her to scrub her chest the night before surgery. The nurse knows that this was done for what reason? The health care provider wants to eliminate as many organisms from the skin as possible by scrubbing the area the night before surgery. Chlorhexidine kills hair follicles that may cause problems during the open heart surgery Chlorhexidine discolors the skin slightly so it will be easier and acts as a surgical site marker Encouraging the client to prepare for surgery can help lessen anticipation anxiety.
