摘要:

Individuals who have suffered an attack of acute poliomyelitis were considered to have recovered from this illness. However, for a small group of people, sequelae to the disease have begun to appear, such as fatigue, muscle pain, and loss of motor function. The term post-polio sequelae is used to describe the clinical problems seen in this patient population. Nurses can intervene to promote self-care activities and independence for these individuals. This article offers examples of nursing care plans, with an emphasis on nursing diagnoses, to assist orthopaedic nurses in caring for this patient population.

摘要:

Patients who have had hip surgery need to learn about many aspects of their care before discharge. Nurses have the responsibility to document teaching to assure quality care. Documentation of discharge teaching at St. Luke's Hospital's Orthopedic Unit in Milwaukee, WI, was identified as a patient care problem. A Unit-Based Quality Assurance Committee, in conjunction with the patient care manager and the clinical nurse specialist, devised a retrospective study to evaluate the completeness of discharge teaching on patients who had had hip surgery. The study sample consisted of 50 patients who had either a total hip arthroplasty, hip hemiarthroplasty or internal fixation of a hip surgery. Results revealed where documentation of discharge teaching needed to be improved or altered, and corrective actions were recommended.

摘要:

Our clinical experience indicates that voiding dysfunction is common in geriatric patients with hip fracture. Therefore, we conducted a prevalence survey and found that voiding dysfunction occurred in 47% of these patients, indicating a significant clinical problem. This article describes the survey and outlines tentative nursing actions that are aimed at reducing voiding problems in this patient population. We are currently designing an explicit nursing protocol that will be tested in a prospective study involving geriatric hip-fracture patients.
