During this time, the nursing staff checks temperature, heart rate, and breathing at frequent intervals. When the anesthesia wears off and vital signs stabilize, the patient is transferred to their hospital room. • Unruptured Appendix – With an unruptured appendix, the patient's recovery time is relatively quick. The morning after surgery, clear liquids are offered. Once those are tolerated, the diet progresses to solid food. Once the patient is eating and drinking, the intravenous is removed. Physical activity, such as getting out of bed, begins on the same day as surgery or the next morning. Most patients need medication to relieve the pain in and around the incision. The smaller incisions of a laparscopic procedure often cause less pain than the large incision made in open appendectomy. The nursing staff continues to monitor the patient for signs of infection and checks that the incision is healing. Patients with uncomplicated surgeries usually leave the hospital 1 or 2 days following surgery. • Once at home, the patient must check the incision site. It should be dry and the wound should be completely closed. If the incision drains blood or pus, or if the edges are pulling apart, the physician should be notified immediately. Fever and increasing pain at the incision site also should be reported to the physician. ➢ Collaboration with Interdisciplinary Team – (1) ▪ Dosage Calculation: Verifying Administration Rate (Active Learning Template – Basic Concept, RM FUND 9.0 Chp 48) • Volume (mL)/ Time (min) x Drop factor (gtt/mL) = X ➢ Concepts of Management – (1) ▪ Managing Client Care: Identifying Types of Care Delivery Systems (Active Learning Template – Basic Concept, RM Leadership 7.0 Chp 1) • Leadership and management are concepts that are integral to effective management and motivation of staff and clients.
