2- Briefly discuss the techniques used by hospitals to prepare patients for surgery and make this medical event less stressful. (6 points)

Answer 1

Ans) 1) Elements that cause stress in surgery to patient:

- Poor cognition is a key risk factor for poor coping because the patient has difficulty assessing a situation and making decisions that allow a sense of control. Limited support is a risk factor, but decreased cognition adds to the patient's inability to understand changes. A retired police officer would typically have experienced stress and have some strengths in managing stress. Needing assistance to move is a short-term need; the inability to understand the need for the move or a new situation because of poor cognitive function is the greater concern.

- Inviting the occupational therapist into the patient's home and attending support groups are early indicators that the patient is recognizing some of the challenges of the disease and participating in positive realistic activities to cope with the stressors related to changes in physical functioning.

- Exercise is a form of emotion-based coping that increases a feeling of well-being. Cutting back on hours may not be an option in his current work climate, although it might help reduce stress. There are other nonpharmacologic methods that may help with stress, such as music or meditation, which would not involve possible side effects from medications. Exercise will decrease feelings of stress when balanced with the time requirements of the stressor.
