as pediatric and geriatric patients. Coverage of more than 400
general and specialty surgical interventions includes minimally
invasive and robotic-assisted surgical procedures, whether
performed in a hospital, ambulatory surgery setting, or in a
doctor's office. Perioperative nursing considerations are presented
within the nursing process framework and include assessment,
