Surgical Skin Prep for Pyeloplasty

The document discusses a patient who underwent a pyeloplasty surgery to correct a blockage between the kidney and ureter. After 8 hours of care, the expected outcomes for the patient include being able to display progressive wound healing, inspect the incision for any signs of infection or complication, and promote nutrition and rest to aid healing. The nurse will reinforce the dressing, check for signs of infection, encourage nutrition and rest, and practice aseptic technique to minimize impairment and promote wound healing.
