A nurse is educating a client about regional anesthesia. Which statement is accurate about this type of anesthesia?
"You will be awake but will not be aware of the procedure."
"You will be asleep but may feel some pain during the procedure."
"You will be asleep and won't be aware of the procedure."
"You will be awake and will not have sensation of the procedure."
The Correct Answer is D
A. With regional anesthesia, the client is awake and aware of the procedure but does have sensation blocked.
B. Regional anesthesia does not put the client to sleep; feeling pain during the procedure indicates inadequate anesthesia.
C. Being asleep and unaware describes general anesthesia, not regional anesthesia.
D. Regional anesthesia numbs a specific area of the body, so the client remains awake but does not feel sensation in the targeted region during the procedure.
