Routine surgery, routine patients? Never!
Abstract
The nursing process--assessing, diagnosing, planning, intervening, and evaluating--is a dynamic tool when properly used by the nurse. It ensures that nursing care is never routine. The following case study demonstrates how this process was used to guide the care of a patient with an unexpected corneal abrasion following meloplasty (chin augmentation) surgery.
