Before surgery, the nurse needs to address the client's elimination needs to prevent complications during and after the surgery. It is important to ensure the client has emptied their bladder and bowels so as to prevent any unwanted accidents during the procedure. Medications, activity, and support system are also important areas to address but are not the priority before surgery.
