As a nurse preceptor, you are in the operating room with a student nurse. The client has received general anesthesia. The student nurse says, 'Oh no, the general anesthesia is not working. The client is shaking and moving.' How should you respond to this student nurse?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Shaking and moving during stage 2 (excitement phase) of general anesthesia is normal due to loss of inhibitory control before deeper anesthesia is achieved.
