Will write any prescriptions you will use at home.
Your Nurses
The nurses will inspect your surgical dressing, may discontinue any IVs that may have been placed during surgery.
The nurse will go through a list of items to make sure you are comfortable with your home care and that you are able to recognize and prevent any complications before you are discharged.
Discharge
After the discharge instructions have been reviewed, your driver (a responsible adult over the age of 18) will be asked to sign your discharge papers.
At this time, your driver will be asked to bring the vehicle around while your nurse gets you ready to leave the facility.
Your nurse will transport you out of the facility with a wheelchair and wait with you until your ride arrives. Your nurse will also assist you getting in your vehicle.
