READIES FOR AN OPERATION is a term used to describe the process of preparing for a medical operation. PREPS is the acronym for this process, which stands for Preoperative Evaluation, Preparation, and Planning for Surgery. This process involves a series of steps that must be taken before an operation can take place, such as obtaining informed consent from the patient, performing preoperative tests, and providing instructions for the patient to follow before and after the surgery. The goal of this process is to ensure that the patient is in the best possible condition for the operation and that the risks associated with the procedure are minimized.
