Hydrocele

Mr. Eggnog underwent surgery for hydrocele and is experiencing postoperative pain. The nursing care plan aims to relieve his pain over 8 hours through interventions like monitoring his vital signs, carefully assessing the surgical site, providing comfort measures, and administering pain medications as needed. The goal is for Mr. Eggnog to report reduced pain from a 5 to a 0 on a 10-point scale and to demonstrate use of relaxation skills to manage any remaining discomfort.
