Which Inova hospital?

At which Inova hospital are you having your surgery?

Please complete these questions:

1. I should shower with chlorhexidine gluconate* (CHG) before my surgery.

2. It is okay to continue taking aspirin before my surgery.

3. I should cough, deep breathe and do frequent ankle pumps after my surgery. I will be asked to get out of bed the day of my surgery. Even if I go home the day of surgery, walking and expanding my lungs (occasional deep breathe and cough) will prevent complications.

4. I will be asked to rate my pain using a 0-10 scale. 10 would indicate the highest level of pain.

5. Please include any additional questions you may have below.
