Caring for the Postoperative Client
• Providing Immediate Anaesthesia Recovery in Postanesthesia Care Unit – mainly involves checking vital signs, inspecting dressings for drainage, pain assessment and physical assessment unique to the patient’s surgery

I am really interested in this type of nursing for my future career so it’s great to be learning about it so early in my course. Gives me motivation.
