title: Reflections on the art and science of perianesthesia nursing.
abstract: The 21 words that form the basis for this article were selected because they convey the art and science of perianesthesia nursing practice, place perianesthesia nursing in both a national and global context, and facilitate reflection about this specialty practice. Reflection can lead to affirmation or change and perhaps even a design for the future.
