I'm an OR nurse as well. An RN, CNOR. And, from personal experience with my pts, they have all appreciated it when I tell them, "I tend to give my pts. A little more info. because "I" want them well informed & to know what to expect Post-Op!" For example, the possible Co2 gas that is left behind & can cause residual shoulder pain. Or after a Colonoscopy, be sure to pass all that air, "flatus" or your abdomen WILL cramp! Patient teaching is a high priority in my care!
