1

Before incision, what step best ensures rapid response when switching between monopolar and bipolar coagulation modes?

Keep only the monopolar pencil on the field until needed
Verify both handpieces are tested and placed together for immediate access
Apply the dispersive pad before draping the patient
Turn on the smoke evacuator before any bleeding begins

2

During small venous bleeding, the surgeon requests coagulation. Which tool should the scrub nurse pass first?

Fibrin sealant applicator
Bipolar forceps in coagulation mode
Monopolar handpiece set to coagulate mode
Monopolar handpiece in blended cut mode

3

During active bleeding, smoke accumulation is reducing visibility. What should the scrub nurse do next?

Provide antistick solution or saline and activate smoke evacuation
Pause coagulation and switch to mechanical pressure
Replace the dispersive pad with a new one
Increase ESU power for faster coagulation

4

During a sudden hemorrhage, the scrub nurse realizes sponge counts have fallen behind while the surgeon urgently requests more clamps. What is the best immediate action?

Stop the procedure until all sponge counts are verified
Prioritize assisting the surgeon, then re-establish the count once bleeding is controlled
Ask the circulating nurse to take over passing instruments
Begin recounting sponges while the surgeon continues operating

5

In a low-resource operating room where ESU reliability is poor, what adaptation best supports safe bleeding control?

Relying solely on pressure and suction for all cases
Avoiding the use of tourniquets due to limited monitoring
Skipping sponge counts to focus on urgent bleeding
Preparing extra clamps and pre-threaded sutures for mechanical control
