Other important concerns are preventing urinary retention, constipation, deep venous thrombosis (DVT), and BP variability (high or low). For patients with diabetes, blood glucose levels are monitored closely by fingerstick testing every 1 to 4 h until patients are awake and eating because better glycemic control improves outcome.
