Staff at Eye 35 ASC in Schertz,
Texas, know that nausea and
vomiting caused by a reaction to
anesthesia is something all
patients worry about, so they do
everything they can to prevent it.
"We ask all of our patients if they
have had any issues with seda-
tion or pain meds in the past,"
says Carson McCafferty, MSN,
RN, CNOR, CSSM, CSRN, the
center's clinical director.
The facility also utilizes elec-
tronic records, which alert the
staff if someone is prone to nau-
sea or vomiting. "This has helped
us with patients who come back
for another procedure," explains
Ms. McCafferty. "We're immedi-
ately aware that they experienced
nausea the last time they were in
so we can come up with a more
successful plan of attack to pre-
vent it from happening again."
For example, patients who tend
to suffer from car sickness or
who have dealt with nausea from
previous procedures are premed-
icated with ondansetron.
Put the patient first

dures. "I had a patient who want-
ed to pray before her procedure,
so we did," says Ms. McCafferty.
"We will hold hands and make
sure patients know we're going to
take good care of them. We tell
the same bad jokes to all our
