NUR160 Final Exam with Complete Solutions 100%
Verified
Osteoporosis - ✔✔- Loss of bone density
Calcium depletion and bone protein
Changes in posture
Decreased mobility
Predisposed to fracture (slow healing)
RISKS:
Alcohol
Corticosteroids
Low calcium and estrogen
smoking
sedentary life
Osteoporosis - ✔✔S/S:
Backache
,porous/brittle bones
Dowagers hump
lorodosis, scoliosis, kyphosis
Liver/thyroid functions
bone density mineral
DIAG test:
CBC, serum calcium phosphorus alkaline, BUN, creatine level, urinalysis, liver/thyroid
function, bone mineral density
osteoporosis - ✔✔TREATMENT:
medication
healthy dieting
weight bearing exercises
calcium/calcitonin taken with vitamin d-3
hip and knee - ✔✔2 types of fractures:
Hip fracture - ✔✔S/S:
,-
-
severe pain
tenderness
inability to move legs
shortening or external rotation of the leg
fractures - ✔✔Nursing Interventions:
monitor vitals
perform neurovascular checks
immobilize using bucks or Russells traction until surgery
traction - ✔✔- Putting extremities, bone, or muscle groups under tension using weights and
pulleys
align/stabilize fracture site, relieve pressure
buck's traction - ✔✔- Temporary
, Provide support and comfort to a fractured extremity
Traction pulls it horizontal place with the affected extremity
russells traction - ✔✔- Knee sling supports affect leg
Allows more movement in bed and permits flexion of knee joint
Used common for hip and knee fractures
compartment syndrome - ✔✔Expansion/inflammation leasing to compartments that result
from swelling
Pulselessness, Pallor, Pain, Paresthesia, Paralysis(paresis), Polar(temp), puffiness(edema), -
✔✔7
P's (Neurovascular checks)
flomax, cardura, terazon - ✔✔BPH meds
22-26 - ✔✔Normal HCO3
35-45 - ✔✔Normal PaCO2
7.35-7.45 - ✔✔normal pH
