Explanation:

On the day of surgery, patients typically follow medical instructions. "Take prescribed medications as instructed by your healthcare professional" is appropriate because it adheres to medical guidance. Other options: speaking up about handwashing (not patient's role day of surgery), eating well/rest (usually pre - op preparation), calling for infection (post - op monitoring), and asking to speak with surgeon about shaving (shaving instructions are usually given earlier or handled by staff).

Answer:

Take prescribed medications as instructed by your healthcare professional
