QUESTION 6 OF 30

How would you counsel a patient about the risks of anesthesia?

You will have to counsel all of your patients about the risk of anesthesia in order to get them to sign a consent for anesthesia form. The consent process must be in their native language so you may need a translator. You must present the risks in an easy-to-understand way and provide a comprehensive overview of what kinds of risk are possible.

"I would explain the risks of anesthesia using simple language and using a teach-back method to assess that the patient understands the information from the consent process. I would discuss all minor and major risks including death and allow the patient time to ask questions."
