A woman is admitted for diagnostic hysteroscopy under anaesthesia. Which preoperative nursing action is most important?
Correct answer: B. Confirm fasting status, consent and allergy history
- A. Offer a full meal immediately before the procedure
- B. Confirm fasting status, consent and allergy history
- C. Encourage vigorous exercise before transfer
- D. Insert a vaginal medication without a prescription
Explanation
Before anaesthesia, the nurse confirms fasting status, informed consent, allergies and other required safety checks. Food increases aspiration risk, and unprescribed vaginal medication or strenuous exercise is inappropriate.

It includes pelvic examination, specimen collection, preoperative and postoperative care, medication support, privacy and counselling, and distinguishes gynaecological conditions from normal pregnancy-related changes.
