In my previous role, I conducted thorough preoperative assessments, including reviewing medical histories, current medications, and any potential risks. I ensured patients were fully informed about the procedure, anesthesia, and postoperative care. I also coordinated with the surgical team to address any last-minute concerns, ensuring the patient was mentally and physically prepared for surgery. This comprehensive approach helped minimize risks and ensured a smooth surgical experience.

I manage stress by maintaining a structured approach to my work, prioritizing tasks, and staying organized. I also practice deep breathing and mindfulness techniques to stay calm under pressure. Communication is key; I ensure clear and frequent updates with the surgical team and support staff. This collaborative approach helps mitigate stress and ensures we can respond effectively to any unexpected situations.

I use a combination of verbal explanations, written materials, and visual aids to educate patients and their families. I ensure they understand the importance of following postoperative instructions, such as wound care, medication management, and activity restrictions. I also encourage them to ask questions and clarify any doubts. Follow-up calls or visits are part of my strategy to monitor recovery and provide additional support if needed.

I address patient concerns by actively listening and providing reassurance. I explain the procedure in detail, using simple language and visual aids to help them understand. I also offer to contact a family member or friend if the patient feels more comfortable with someone present. During the procedure, I maintain a calm and supportive demeanor, ensuring the patient feels safe and well-cared for.

In a previous position, we implemented a new electronic health record system. I quickly adapted by attending training sessions and practicing on the system during downtime. I also collaborated with colleagues to share tips and troubleshoot issues. By staying proactive and maintaining open communication with the team, I was able to smoothly transition to the new process and continue providing high-quality patient care.
