Patient and family education is the primary nursing intervention throughout the preoperative phase. Utilize every chance while the patient is being evaluated and getting ready for surgery to provide them information that will help them feel more comfortable and less anxious.

Describe anesthesia.

Anesthesia is a controlled, momentary loss of consciousness or emotion that is brought on for therapeutic purposes. A person who is anesthetized is one who is affected by anesthetic drugs.

Anesthesia has made it possible to do procedures that would otherwise be technically impossible or would leave a patient in excruciating or intolerable agony.
