Nursing Care Plan for Cataract Surgery

This nursing care plan is for a patient who recently had phacoemulsification with posterior capsule intraocular lens implantation surgery. The plan identifies the patient's risk for infection due to the invasive surgical procedure. It lists monitoring the patient's temperature, educating them on preventing infection, and encouraging rest as interventions to help ensure the patient remains infection-free after their surgery. The expected outcome is that the patient avoids getting an infection at the surgical site.
