The document discusses preoperative investigations and teaching. For investigations, it describes conducting a full blood count, urea and electrolytes tests for patients over age 65, with certain medical conditions, or at risk of blood loss. Preoperative teaching aims to prepare patients for what to expect before, during, and after surgery through sensory, procedural, and process information. Sensory information covers sights, sounds, temperatures etc. in operating rooms. Procedural information explains preparations, restrictions, and the surgical and anesthesia process. Process information outlines what happens in admission, holding, operating and recovery areas. The goal is patient safety and understanding through addressing priority details.
