Which action is the safest first response?
- Ensure the client remains in a high-Fowler position throughout the procedure.
- Administer an ordered antiemetic and proceed with the scheduled start time.
- Notify the physician and anesthesia provider that the procedure must be delayed.
- Proceed with the sedation as long as the suction equipment is turned on and tested.
