Question

which statement by the patient would the medical assistant correct when speaking with a patient about his upcoming vasectomy?
“the procedure will take more than 1 hour.”
“the procedure will be done under local anesthesia.”
“i will need someone to drive me home after the procedure.”
“i should bring a pair of tight - fitting underwear to wear afterwards.”

Explanation:

A vasectomy is usually a short - term procedure under local anesthesia. Patients can usually drive themselves home as local anesthesia doesn't severely impair driving ability. Tight - fitting underwear can help with support post - procedure. A vasectomy typically takes 15 - 30 minutes, not more than 1 hour.

Answer:

A. "The procedure will take more than 1 hour."
