Romel Jimera, MSN, RN, CNOR, perioperative nursing professional development specialist, partnered with the perioperative team to ensure a safe surgical environment for a patient with an anaphylactic allergy to red meat.
Using evidence-based practice, the team reviewed medications, supplies, and equipment and ensured that everything used for the procedure was safe for use on this patient, which led to a successful procedure in the operating room team.
