Patient preparation involves the steps taken before a medical procedure, surgery, or exam to ensure the patient is physically and mentally ready, such as fasting instructions, medication adjustments, consent forms, and pre-procedure education. Nurses, surgical staff, and technologists coordinate this process to reduce complications and anxiety and to ensure procedures run smoothly. It also includes verifying patient identity and confirming the correct procedure site.
