The nurse is assisting with a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. In which order, from first to last, should the nurse complete the following tasks?

First, the nurse must verify that the client has voluntarily signed a consent form before the procedure begins, and check that the client understands the procedure. The nurse then positions the client in a side-lying, or lateral decubitus, position with the affected side up. Then the nurse should clean the skin site and surrounding area with an antiseptic solution such as Betadine before the health care provider collects the specimen. When the procedure is finished, the nurse must apply ice to the biopsy site to reduce pain.
