摘要:

Early total knee designs provided components for only the medial and lateral femorotibial compartments of the knee. This article describes the critical, mechanical function of the patello femoral joint and related the biomechanics of the human knee to both the design currently available to total knee prostheses and the nursing care of the total knee arthroplasty patients.

摘要:

The most common complication in total hip arthroplasty is aseptic loosening with the bone cement interface being the area of failure in most hips. A non-cemented Austin-Moore prosthesis used with a cemented acetabular component has been used in selected patients for the past 4 years to eliminate the complications of a cemented femoral prosthesis. Follow-up to date has shown this to be a successful alternative.

摘要:

Work in the development of nursing diagnoses has been significant in establishing certain signs or cues necessary in patient assessment and care plan development. However, no set or cluster of cues has been specifically identified that describe the nursing diagnosis of altered body image. Because of the difficult nature of defining self and body image, this preliminary study was a beginning attempt to clarify this topic for nursing practice. This pattern of human responses does not lend itself easily to pure research forms. Therefore, a qualitative, descriptive methodology was utilized in order to identify a route for a future, quantitative research approach. An assessment tool is needed that will aid nurses in arriving at this nursing diagnosis. A nursing body image assessment tool (BBIAT) was developed and tested on 10 immobilized patients. These 10 patients were assessed by five Staff nurses and three expert nurses by utilizing the tool. An attempt to begin preliminary validation of the tool was done by the investigator, who was established as the standard of correctness, using another equivalent form involving oral, audiotaped patient interviews. Data from the staff and expert nurse sources were compared for inter-rater reliability. Tool evaluation revealed a useable format as well as strong agreement among all nurses on 6 out of 11 questions. Formal statistical reliability and validity testing of the tool is indicated as the next step in tool development. Further nursing research to clarify patient cues for the nursing diagnosis of alteration in body image is recommended. Possible nursing interventions pertinent to this diagnosis are also discussed.

摘要:

The federal government has begun to address the spiraling costs of health care through a new Medicare payment system known as prospective pricing. The payment plan, based on fix payments for particular diagnoses, should force greater efficiencies in health-care delivery. This article will review the new system and suggest ways that those in the nursing profession, including orthopaedic nurses, can meet the challenge.
