clarify a physician’s explanation about an operation or a procedure to a patient - chest drainage system line is broken or interrupted

- A nurse may clarify a physician’s explanation about an operation or a procedure to a patient, but must refer questions about informed consent to the physician.

- When obtaining a health history from an acutely ill or agitated patient, the nurse should limit questions to those that provide necessary information.

- If a chest drainage system line is broken or interrupted, the nurse should clamp the tube immediately.
