Abstract

The nursing role in postoperative patient care is pivotal to ensuring successful recovery and minimizing complications. Nurses are responsible for monitoring vital signs, managing pain, preventing complications such as infections or deep vein thrombosis, and providing proper wound care. Additionally, they support early mobilization, ensure adequate nutritional intake, and offer psychological and emotional support to reduce anxiety and enhance patient well-being. Education for patients and their families is also crucial, empowering them to participate in the recovery process and recognize signs of potential complications. The nursing team's expertise and dedication significantly contribute to positive postoperative outcomes and overall patient satisfaction.
