The greatest risk for complications during the intraoperative or postoperative period is the client, aged 35, who has non-insulin dependent diabetes.
Which aspect of the perioperative nurse's job is the most important?
The primary responsibility of the perioperative nurse is to keep the patient and surgical team in a sterile environment before, during, and after surgery.
Diabetic patients are more likely to have complications during or after surgery. Hypoglycemia can happen during anaesthesia, as a result of not eating enough carbohydrates, or as a result of using too much insulin after surgery. Hyperglycemia can both increase the risk of infection and the rate of wound healing. Smokers should quit between four and eight weeks before surgery. Recent illicit drug use can increase the likelihood of anesthesia side effects. Healthy elderly people are not at greater risk.
