Peri-procedural care includes:

• A. Anesthesia
• B. Analgesia
• C. Sterile technique
• D. All of the Above

Answer: (D)

Peri-procedural care encompasses the management around a procedure to keep the animal safe, comfortable, and free from infection. Anesthesia helps keep the animal still and insensate during the procedure, reducing stress and movement. Analgesia provides pain relief before, during, and after the procedure, supporting a smoother recovery. Sterile technique prevents infection by maintaining an aseptic environment, using clean instruments, proper gloves, and site prep. Each of these elements targets a different risk during the perioperative period, and together they form the complete approach to peri-procedural care. That’s why all of the above is the best answer.
