How Do Nurses Manage Pain and Medication Post-Surgery?
Pain management is a critical aspect of postoperative care. Nurses assess the patient's pain level and administer analgesics as prescribed. They also manage other medications, such as anticoagulants and beta-blockers, ensuring the patient adheres to the prescribed regimen. Nurses educate patients about the importance of medication adherence to prevent complications such as blood clots or heart failure.
