Which Inova hospital?

At which Inova hospital are you having your surgery?

Please complete these questions:

1) I will be expected to get out of bed and walk the day of my surgery, even if I am scheduled to go home the day of surgery.

2) I should take stool softeners and stay hydrated after surgery to prevent constipation.

3) I should shower with chlorhexidine gluconate three times before surgery.

4) After surgery, I will be expected to use a breathing device called an incentive spirometer 10 times every waking hour to prevent pneumonia.

5) My pain will be managed a variety of ways using a pain scale where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst possible pain. It is best to communicate my pain as soon as possible.

Post-Quiz Attestation

All patients must check the box below to attest that they understand the statement about assistance with everyday tasks following surgery.

I understand that following spine surgery, I will likely need assistance with everyday tasks such as bathing and driving. It is recommended that I have someone at home with me for a period of time based on my recovery needs.

After surgery, you will need to plan to have a support person who is able to:

Help with lifting and carrying things greater than 10 pounds for you
Drive you to and from doctor appointments
Help you in and out of a car if needed
Help you balance while walking, including up and down stairs if needed

Do you have a support person who is able to assist you?

Yes

If no, please see this attachment of optional out of pocket services that may help during recovery. You may also reach out to your hospital's navigator with any concerns.
