Cataract surgery is one of the commonest surgical procedures all over the world. High volume day-care surgery, the complexity of care, and overarching performance pressures may result in unsatisfactory outcomes for that surgical procedure. Previous studies has shown that many adverse events from cataract extraction are related to nurses care. A qualitative research was carried out al Lucía Iñiguez Hospital in the first quarter of 2010 to design a standard care plan for management of risk associated to cataract surgery througt document review of nurse care process in this surgical procedure and up to date nursing taxonomies. Discussion forums, workshops and focal groups were the methods used to achieve that goal. A standard nursing care plan for management of risks associated to cataract surgery is proposed taking into account taxonomies from North American Nursing Diagnosis Association, Nursing Outcomes Clasification and Nursing Intervention Clasification, the risks of every perioperative period and the position of the nurse responsible for specifical cares.
