Abstract
Presurgical evaluations are an important component of perioperative services but also pose challenges for nurse practitioners (NPs) in primary care regarding disease optimization, interdisciplinary communication, knowledge of surgical risk, and potential for surgical delays. The complexities of comorbid conditions, advancements in surgical procedures, and nuances of pharmacologic therapy compound perioperative management. Application of evidence-based information for perioperative decision-making helps NPs perform comprehensive, high-quality evaluations with an emphasis on the overall reduction of perioperative morbidity and mortality.
