Objective: To investigate the clinical effectiveness of nursing risk management in surgical nursing care for head and neck tumor patients. Methods: A total of 120 patients admitted to the Head and Neck Tumor Surgery Department of our hospital from December 2022 to December 2024 were selected as participants. They were randomly divided into a control group (60 cases, receiving routine nursing care) and an observation group (60 cases, receiving nursing risk management interventions). The control group followed standard nursing protocols, while the observation group implemented enhanced nursing risk management strategies alongside routine care. Patient satisfaction and the incidence of nursing risk events were evaluated using validated assessment scales. Results: The nursing satisfaction rate in the observation group was 96.67% (58/60), significantly higher than 83.33% (50/60) in the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of nursing risk events in the observation group was 6.67% (4/60), markedly lower than 23.33% (14/60) in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Nursing risk management effectively reduces the incidence of adverse events and enhances patient satisfaction in head and neck tumor surgical care, demonstrating significant clinical value for optimizing nursing quality. These strategies should be recommended for clinical implementation.
