- 1. How can Iput this lightly? The sooner you come to love nursing care plans, the easier your career as a nurse will be. The relationship that most nurses have with care plans goes something like this: What the hell is a care plan? This seems easy! Agh! Why do they keep telling me my diagnosis is wrong? Screw it! I’ll just Google and copy some random care plan. I’ll never do these again once a graduate. Finally! I graduated . . . goodbye care plans.

Acute appendicitis rarely causing death; with a mortality rate ranges from zero up to 2.4% (8). However, more attention has been directed for early diagnosis and intervention. 1.

- 8. Brief View OfAppendectomy • Appendectomy is the surgical removal of the appendix. An inflamed appendix may be removed using a laparoscopic approach with laser. However, the presence of multiple adhesions, retroperitoneal positioning of the appendix, or the likelihood of rupture necessitates an open (traditional) procedure. • Studies indicate that laparoscopic appendectomy results in significantly less postoperative pain, earlier resumption of solid foods, a shorter hospital stay, lower wound infection rate, and a faster return to normal activities than open appendectomy.
