Research allows nursing to validate and enhance nursing care. Which of the following research questions would be most relevant to promoting nursing care and outcomes for the preoperative client?
1. What is the optimal timing for preoperative teaching?
2. How does the interaction of the client with the health care provider impact the client's long-term recovery?
3. How much pain medicine does the client prefer?
4. When should the client be discharged?
What is the optimal timing for preoperative teaching?
Rationale: Nursing research is important to the care and outcomes of preoperative clients. How well the client interacts with the health care provider would be a study for the medical community to research. How much pain medicine the client prefers and when the client should be discharged are topics too broad for research as they are written, but could be modified to select portions for study.
