In order to prevent problems and complications which patients who have undergone surgery tend to suffer, it is fundamental to utilize a generic standardized treatment plan due to the preventive dimension which nursing care may then acquire. So that this treatment plan provide greater effectiveness, it should include standardized nursing interventions such as those listed in the Classification of Nursing Interventions since by this method, a common terminology is built up among professionals which provides continuity to treatment and facilitates the selection of adequate interventions for each situation. This report establishes the most frequent nursing diagnoses among post-surgical patients and adapts these to the nursing treatments in the Classification of Nursing Interventions.
