What are the Key Responsibilities of a Transplant Nurse Post-Surgery?
Post-surgery, transplant nurses play a critical role in monitoring patients for signs of infection, rejection, or other complications. They manage pain, administer immunosuppressive medications, and ensure that patients adhere to dietary and lifestyle modifications. Nurses also provide emotional support and education to help patients adjust to life after a transplant. Regular follow-up care and communication with the transplant team are essential to monitor patient progress.
