Does anyone have a realistic, workable nursing care plan for the outpatient ambulatory surgery setting?

We use standards of care instead of care plans.

Switcher,

Have you looked at any literature from The Association Of Operating Room Nurses (AORN.org)? Both their standards of care plus proposed recommended practices of care for patients in the perioperative setting are wonderful guidelines.

Good luck,

Paula
