Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Checking the appropriate health care provider's orders is the first priority as it ensures that the nurse is aware of the postoperative orders and can implement them appropriately. This includes monitoring vital signs, pain management, and any specific orders related to the surgical procedure. Once the orders have been checked, the nurse can then proceed to the other interventions such as checking the IV solution, positioning the patient, and assessing for estimated blood loss.
