I have extensive experience conducting thorough preoperative assessments, ensuring that patients are medically optimized for surgery. This includes reviewing medical histories, current medications, and conducting physical examinations to identify any potential risks. I also collaborate with the surgical team to address any concerns and make necessary adjustments to the patient's care plan.

In unexpected situations, I remain calm and focused, prioritizing patient safety. I quickly assess the situation, communicate effectively with the surgical team, and implement immediate interventions as needed. My training and experience have equipped me to handle emergencies efficiently, ensuring that the patient receives the best possible care.

I employ several strategies to reduce patient anxiety, including clear and compassionate communication about the surgical process, answering questions, and providing reassurance. I also use relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises and guided imagery. Additionally, I ensure that patients feel informed and involved in their care, which helps alleviate their fears.

I strictly adhere to infection control protocols by consistently practicing hand hygiene, wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), and ensuring that all equipment and surfaces are properly sterilized. I also educate patients and their families on infection prevention measures, reinforcing the importance of these practices to maintain a safe environment.

I have significant experience coordinating care between various healthcare providers, including surgeons, anesthesiologists, and other nursing staff. I ensure that all team members are informed of the patient's status and any changes in their condition. Effective communication and collaboration are key to providing seamless and high-quality care.
