I focused more on the pre-operating nursing aspect this week. In this part, patients are met during the pre-visit, this is aimed at introducing the patient to the nurses at the theatre to the patient on the ward. Also, serology is checked for example: PCV, HIV status etc. The patient is also reassured about the procedure and made comfortable for the procedure. The vital signs are checked and special order or remarks for the procedure are made. NPO is maintenance and input and output is checked.
