Nursing Priorities of Post-Operative Care
Pain

Risk for atelectasis

Bleeding from site

Vital signs

Paralytic ileus

Constipation

Venous clots
Pain Nursing Interventions
assess FACES, FLACC, individualized rating scale (ie pt chooses colors assoc w/ pain)

PO narcotics better than IV b/c has less S/E
Risk for Atelectasis Nursing Interventions
sit upright/positioning unless contraindicated

incentive spirometry

playing & ambulating

↑temp on 1st day post-op = atelectasis (NOT fever)
Bleeding from Surgical Site Nursing Interventions
reinforce surgical dressings with gloved hand & gauze
Paralytic Ileus Nursing Interventions
neg bowel sounds

advance diet as tolerated:
➧only advance to new foods when +bowel sounds
