C
Feedback:
A major advantage of outpatient surgery is that it interferes less with the client's daily routine. It also allows more opportunity for family contact and support. Some disadvantages are that it reduces the time for establishing a nurse–client relationship and requires intensive preoperative teaching in a short time. It does not necessarily reduce the risk of complications.
