| Postoperative Care Hospital stays are getting shorter and shorter; discharge back to the home environment can be taxing, even overwhelming, especially after surgical procedures. A primary care nurse visits the patient’s home with a care plan, focusing on creating an atmosphere of calm, encouraging patients to participate in their own care, and helping them look forward to increasing independence. We instruct both patients and caregivers about surgery, treatment, infection control and safety management. Understanding such processes sets patients firmly on the road to recovery and return to self-care. |
