CNOR Exam Review (Preview)

Topic Description: This module reviews much information related to intraoperative activities which is 31% of the CNOR exam. Patients come to the OR expecting to be “fixed” unknowing that much of what happens to them has the potential to gravely harm them. AORN Standards are the best resource for additional information related to hazards in the OR. Topic Objectives: 1. Develop an awareness of surgical hazards. 2. List specific examples of ways in which to decrease hazards to the perioperative patient.
