Abstract:
Prehabilitation, or "prehab," helps patients optimize strength, function, and nutrition before surgery. This evidence-based practice project presents strategies for implementing a prehab program to prepare patients for spinal surgery. Nurses play an integral role in educating patients preoperatively about the myriad lifestyle changes associated with spinal surgery.
