Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Post-Anesthesia Recovery Score (PARS) provides nurses a tool to evaluate the client's level of consciousness, oxygen saturation level, respiratory status, and blood pressure. A score of 8 to 10 means the client is ready to transfer to a postoperative unit. A score below 8 means the client needs continued monitoring in the PACU or transfer to the Intensive Care Unit. The client does not need to return to the operating room.
