Confirming blood products are crossmatched and transport-ready
Checking stapler cartridge loads before incision
Laying out the smallest sponges closest to the surgeon

5

During active arterial bleeding, the scrub nurse hands the surgeon a vascular clamp with the ratchets locked and oriented away from the surgeon’s hand. What is the most appropriate correction?
