OR nurse doing a Capstone project in Pre-op Ideas

[tbruce27501]

I am an RN working on my BSN (only 69 days left). I work in the OR, and I am lucky to be doing my clinical time in the preop area of where I work. What I would like to know is what would be a good teaching powerpoint project that would benefit both the OR and Preop.

My first idea would be.....Proper IV placement, most preop nurses do not realize we have to tuck arms on certain cases, and nine times out of 10 the arm we have to tuck is the one with the IV in it. The second idea is the importance of instruction the patient on how to use the Chlorhexidine Gluconate wipes to prevent surgical site infections.
