NOTES
1. ✦ Using a computer with word
processing software, create a
postoperative instruction packet
for a hearing-impaired patient.
Include the following information:
• When to resume activities
such as walking, driving, and
exercising
• Incision wound care and
dressing changes
• Postoperative diet
• Medications
• Follow-up care
2. ✦ Double-check the information
for accuracy, spelling, and
grammatical errors.
3. ✦ Print a copy for the patient and
save one copy in the patient’s
health record. Save a digital file
for EHRs or place a printed copy
in a paper health record. Have
the physician review and approve
the packet before giving it to the
patient.
4. ✶ Face the patient so your lips can be
read easily.
5. ✶ Greet and identify the patient.
Introduce yourself if you haven’t
worked with the patient yet.
6. ✶ Discuss the contents of the
postoperative instructions with the
patient.
a. During discussion, always
face the patient.
b. Do not read the information
from the packet in a hurried
manner. Take frequent
breaks, and make eye contact
with the patient to ensure
understanding.
