A 54 Year old client had an uneventful total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpino-oophorectomy earlier this morning. The pathology report confirms stage 2 endometrial cancer with minimal lymph node involvement. She was widowed 6 months ago, has no children, works as a 1st grade teacher and has a close relationship with her sister, neice and two nephews who live nearby. Postoperatively, she has a Hemovac attched to an abdominal drain and is receiving an Iv of D5LR at 125ml/hr and has morphine available per PCA pump. You are assigned as her nurse on a general surgical floor?What are 6 priority assessments?

Describe 8 interventions to prevent complications for this client.

That way, we won't duplicate effort, nor feel like we are doing your homework for you.
