INTRODUCTIONNursing being a vital part of treatment plays a considerate role in taking care of thesurgical patients who are required to be treated in succession of several caring measures. Theseare mostly related to another potent consideration of perioperative measures in the field ofnursing with a special consent of surgical patients (von Dossow and Zwissler, 2016).Peroperative measures primarily involves the method of evaluation followed by management andlastly carrying out pertinent outpatient processes. It is normally done before conducting anyelective surgical procedures and is usually done by the non-surgical consultants likecardiologists, internists and pulnomologists, etc. This type of consulting mostly assists in themanagement of any prior medical issue of the client such as diabetes, etc., that may in turnimpact upon the existing health related problem of the client. It also supports in the treatment ofperi and post-operative complications that may arise in the form of any other infectious diseaseor cardiac and pulmonary related issues (Young and et.al., 2016). The below report hasdiscoursed upon a similar consideration of surgical patient to be treated with the help ofperioperative measures and is based upon a given case study of a virtual patient named Mr OliverOrange and is 56 years old. MAIN BODY1.Critically appraise my own role in relation to the care of the surgical patientI am hereby playing the role of a surgical care practioner who will be mainly responsiblefor taking care of those patients who are either operated or are in need of some surgicalprocedure. This in turn necessitates me to perform the perioperative practices that will in turninvolve its 3-step process namely evaluation, management and outpatient procedures (Buckleyand et.al., 2016). It is with a special consent of the conferred case scenario of Mr Oliver Orangewho is 56 years old and has been recently admitted to the hospital followed by a workplaceaccident. I have met him in a perioperative setting that necessitated me to go through the threephases of scaphoid surgery for which he was diagnosed (Macht and et.al., 2016).This is basically on considering the leading agenda of perioperative care that intends toprovision improved condition to the patients before, during and after the operation. With asimilar reference to it, the three-stage perioperative practice includes preoperative, intraoperativeand postoperative services where each of these processes are with a distinct consent (Garrett,1
2016). I am hereby required to go through the three mains steps of evaluation in terms of goingthrough his past medical history, management for looking into a well considerate course ofsurgery to avoid any possible chances of obstacle and outpatient (Scott and et.al., 2017). This isbasically to verify a sustained perioperative process for avoiding any probable complicationsafter the surgery to ensure a successful surgical treatment of Mr Orange. 2. Critically examine contemporary issues and challenges in surgical careAttempting to accompany a surgery with several set of responsibilities is itself referred tobe a major challenge for a surgical care practioner who is required to look into all relativemeasures of the surgical procedure to avoid any atrocious fallouts with the wellbeing of client(Chan and et.al., 2017). It is where surgical nursing itself exists with both physical and emotionalchallenges for the nurse. This is with a similar reference to the given case of Mr Orange wherethe scaphoid surgery for the treatment of his fracture is referred to be physically demanding innature and I am hereby required to be aware of the time period I need to spend in the operativeroom. On considering the emotional challenges I may face while treating Mr Orange, I am afraidabout any distressing results that could occur in case the surgery goes wrong. It is thereby on thebasis of the above two challenges, it can be said that patient safety is one of the most concerningissue where it is mostly due to general guidelines with no precise measures to handle a specificset of patients (Isenman, Michaels and Fisher, 2016). Also, communication plays a vital role inhealth care settings where gap in communication leads to no transmission of information acrossthe surgical care pathway. 3. Synthesising theory and practice in relation to learning from incidents and implementingsolutions to minimise the likelihood of them reoccurringThis is on scrutinizing the above relative facts to further create a theory and practice ofimprovement in it, I have hereby learned to behave in a peaceful manner to avoid any sort ofphysical and mental challenges to perform the act of surgical care (Bruno and et.al., 2017). Forwhich, I will also consider following an integral process of communication with a foremostconsideration of listening and attending any queries made by the patient and his or her relatives.A proper communication procedure is apparent to reduce the chances of mishaps and willminimize the probabilities of risk. 2
