The post op nurse’s job is a post operative care assessment of the surgical site. It is her job to report the status of recovery of the elder, any signs and symptoms of complications, neurologic status, and a few other things. When providing post operative care at home, a nurse also takes care of cleaning, eating, and getting life back to normal for the elder. She is responsible for ensuring a speedy recovery. She does so by keeping a tab on the diet of the elder, their daily routine after the operation, and by making sure they don't create any stress to obstruct the body’s natural healing process.
