What are the nursing interventions for neurovascular dysfunction?
Give this one a try later!
Assess affected extremity for color and temperature.
Assess toes for capillary refill.
Assess extremity for edema and swelling and report leg tightness.
Elevate lower extremity. Keep elevated extremity lower than hip when in
the chair.
Assess for deep, throbbing, unrelenting pain, changes in sensation,
numbness, and ability to move foot-toes.
, Assess pedal pulses in both feet
Notify surgeon of altered neurovascular status.
What are nursing interventions for Cushing's Syndrome?
Give this one a try later!
Recommend foods high in protein, calcium, and vitamin D.
Assess for infections because corticosteroids mask signs of infection and
inflammation.
Avoid adhesive tape that can tear and irritate the skin.
Weight gain and edema can be modified with a low-carbohydrate, low
sodium diet, and high protein diet.
Monitor for Addisonian crisis with hypotension, rapid and weak pulse, rapid
respiratory rate, pallor, extreme weakness, and circulatory collapse and
shock.
Administer IV fluids and electrolytes and corticosteroids before, during,
and after surgery.
Monitor labs, daily weight, and blood glucose levels.
What are factors that can affect healing?
Give this one a try later!
Inadequate fracture immobilization, inadequate blood supply to the
fracture site or adjacent tissue, multiple trauma, extensive bone loss,
infection, poor adherence to prescribed restrictions, malignancy, certain
medications (corticosteroids), older age, some disease processes (RA,
diabetes)
