Surgical Nursing encompasses all elements in the scientific care of surgical patients. The surgical nurse first establishes a meaningful, therapeutic relationship, enabling the provision of individualized care. Then, the nurse provides the perioperative nursing care that is required for the safest possible and most favorable surgical outcome.
