2. You are preparing to sedate a patient with fentanyl and versed. What supplies and/or medications should you have available at the bedside? 3. You are the nurse in the surgery suite caring for a patient. You look at the anesthesia monitor and see that the patient's blood pressure continues to decline with every 5- minute blood pressure reading, and has been trending this way since anesthesia was started. The anesthesiologist has not said anything to the surgeon, and is adjusting medications, so you continue to monitor your patient and assist with the procedure when necessary. A few minutes later, you notice that your patient's blood pressure has fallen to 56/30, and the anesthesiologist is appearing flustered, but still has not said anything to the surgeon. The surgeon asks you if everything is OK. What do you do?
