It addresses assessment, diagnostic studies, medications, interventions and education in preoperative, perioperative and postoperative care.
Task force member, Theresa DeVeaux, MS, ACNP-BC, CVN, commented "We anticipate this publication to be the landmark for best patient care practice in vascular nursing."
