In an outpatient surgery center,the preoperative nurse has the responsibility of starting IVs prior to the patients' surgeries.One of the surgeons who works at the center orders a different type of IV fluid than the rest of the surgeons.Which of the following should the nurse be most concerned about in this situation?

A) Procedure-related accident
B) Patient-inherent accident
C) Patient confusion from medications
D) Potential electrolyte imbalance

Procedure-related accidents are caused by health care providers and include medication and fluid administration errors,improper application of external devices,and improper performance of procedures such as dressing changes.Following an organization's policies and procedures and standards of nursing practice helps prevent procedure-related accidents.Patient-inherent accidents are those in which a patient is the primary reason for the accident.The primary issue is a procedure-related accident because of the surgeon's use of a different type of IV,which could cause the nurse to improperly administer the medication; it is not an electrolyte imbalance or confusion.Electrolyte imbalance and confusion from medications are all potential issues that are out of the nurse's control.
