How Do Nurses Prepare Patients for Diagnostic Procedures?
Preparation is key to the success of any diagnostic procedure. Nurses play a vital role in this by:
- Educating the Patient: Providing detailed information about the procedure, its purpose, and what to expect. - Obtaining Consent: Ensuring that the patient understands the procedure and has given informed consent. - Pre-Procedure Instructions: Providing instructions such as fasting, medication adjustments, and fluid intake restrictions.
