An analysis of perioperative care.
Perioperative nursing requires an appreciation of patients' needs throughout the episode of care. This article presents a critical analysis and examination of the perioperative care of a patient undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy. In addition to analysing the efficacy of care delivery in the perioperative setting, we will explore the application of nursing theory and research to everyday practice and the degree to which a hospital's infrastructure facilitates quality care.
