摘要:

During more than 50 years in pediatric orthopaedics, Marie Lotze witnessed the bed rest and sunshine treatment of the thirties, the polio epidemic of the forties, and the advent of the “miracle drugs.” She scrubbed on all types of orthopaedic cases through the fifties and sixties. In the seventies, Marie was part of Dr. Kenton Leatherman's spinal team treating adolescent scoliosis with Cotrel casts and Harrington rod fusions. An inspiration to nurses and physicians alike, Marie touched thousands of lives before her retirement in 1981.

摘要:

Orthopaedic nurses have opportunities to educate the elderly regarding health-promoting lifestyle changes. Although there are many such changes to consider, the focus here is on exercise, injury prevention, smoking and alcohol cessation, immunization, and health screening. Since the elderly present a challenge to traditional education methods, specific strategies are suggested for elder health education.

摘要:

Orthopaedic patients hospitalized for surgery or confined to bed are at high risk for constipation. To determine if wheat bran ingestion would result in more stools, less laxative use, and a lower incidence of constipation after orthopaedic surgery, 16 orthopaedic patients were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups for 7 days. The study concluded that those experimental subjects who ate more wheat bran did have more bowel movements and requested fewer laxatives.
