a) The patient will not experience signs and symptoms of infection.
b) The patient will not experience anxiety during the preoperative phase.
c) The patient remains free of perioperative positioning injury.
d) The patient will not experience signs of an allergic reaction.
Answer:
C, the patient remains free of perioperative injury
Step-by-step explanation:
A perioperative injury is a position related injury in surgery that could happen as a result of how a patient is placed in position for a procedure. Perioperative injury can be reduced by ensuring that the patient in any position for a procedure has normal joint range of motion, maintains good health and also maintains body physique or build or posture. This ensures that during and post procedure, regaining function of body and body parts is not difficult.
Cheers.
