BeanRN

I am a RN new to the OR and currently on orientation. The other day, I circulated on a total abdominal hysterectomy. This procedure required lots of suture, we used almost 50. The thing was when it came time to count, we counted two extra needles on the field than I had on my count sheet. It seemed like I forgot to write down two sutures I passed to the field. My questions are: - Does the pt. need an x-ray if the count is incorrect in terms of counting extra sharps,instruments on field than what was written on sheet? - Also, any tips to help remember to write down any countable items passed to field? It can be easy to forget when so many other things are going on. Thanks!
