摘要:

Microsurgical techniques have become useful in reconstructive surgery of the hand. Toe-to-thumb transplantation currently is the procedure of choice for thumb loss reconstruction. For a successful outcome, meticulous planning is imperative and presumes a thorough knowledge of the pertinent anatomy and surgical technique. The method of thumb reconstruction must be individualized and is dependent on the patient's functional needs, age, and the level of thumb amputation. Postoperatively, diligent nursing care is essential in assuring a positive outcome. Continuous communication between physicians and nurses is crucial. Astute monitoring and assessment are the core components of successful care.

摘要:

Home intravenous (IV) antimicrobial therapy is a well accepted and widely practiced form of home infusion therapy. Orthopaedic-related infections, often requiring long courses of therapy, are commonly treated in the home setting after a brief hospitalization. Hospital orthopaedic nurses play an important role in preparing patients for home care. This article addresses patient selection for home IV therapy, the discharge planning process, and educational preparation of the patient. The role of the home care nurse is briefly presented to enhance the orthopaedic nurse's knowledge of the continuum of care.

摘要:

Acetaminophen is the most widely used and recommended nonprescription analgesic and antipyretic medication in the United States (Rose, 1994). Because acetaminophen is widely advertised and readily available over the counter, consumers as well as health care professionals perceive this medication to be nontoxic. Large or repeated doses of acetaminophen can produce hepatotoxicity, which can occur within 24 hours of an overdose. However, because the signs and symptoms of acetaminophen overdose mimic common illnesses, the real diagnosis may go undetected (Baer & Williams, 1996). Early detection and treatment of acetaminophen overdose is imperative to avoid hepatotoxicity. Nurses play a key role in early identification of both recommended dosages and the clinical features that are associated with acetaminophen toxicity.
