- Handle with the palms of your hands, have patient report painful "hot spots" under the cast which
might indicate area of pressure necrosis, instruct patient to never put anything down into the cast,
encourage the patient/family to smell the area for mustiness or unpleasant odor (if ignored the patient
may develop a fever).
- Assess skin color and temperature, sensation, mobility, pain, capillary refill, and pulses distal to the
fracture site. CMS- circulation, movement, and sensation. - CORRECT ANSWERS-Cast education and
assessment
- Infection of the bone. May be acute or chronic.
- Educate about medications, encourage compliance and to follow regimen (take full course of
medications), inform about signs and symptoms, provide comfort during rest and with positioning, assist
in ADL, coordinate physical therapy while in the hospital to help improve mobility especially after
surgery, provide mobility assistance devices. - CORRECT ANSWERS-Osteomyelitis prevention and
treRemaining still for hours, sitting for long periods of time, anything that prevents circulation - CORRECT
ANSWERS-Clients at risk for DVT
- Handrails in bathrooms
- Ramps instead of stairs
- Wear rubber sole shoes
- Avoid scatter rugs
- Prevent clutter
- Avoid slippery floors - CORRECT ANSWERS-Prevention of falls
- Increased intraocular pressure in a hollow organ.
- When the intraocular pressure increase it leads to compression of the retinal blood vessels and
photoreceptors and their nerve fibers resulting in hypoxemia and death of the tissue and loss of vision.
- Assure the patient can administer own eye drops correctly
- Keep follow-up appointments every 1-3 months to evaluate the IOP.
- If the patient had surgical treatment be sure to educate on the S&S of hemorrhage and detachment
, including severe pain, and vision loss. These should be reported immediately to HCP. - CORRECT
ANSWERS-Glaucoma teaching and pathophysiology
- Maintain perfusion, improve comfort, and prevent impaired mobility - CORRECT ANSWERS-
Prioritization of care for a fracture
atment methods
- Gonioscopy is used when elevation intraocular pressure is diagnosed to determine if the glaucoma is
open-angle or closed-angle. It allows the visualization of the angle where the iris meets the cornea. -
CORRECT ANSWERS-Test to determine open vs closed angle glaucoma
- CMS: circulation, mobility, sensation. Assess skin color, temperature, sensation, mobility, pain, capillary
refill, and pulses. - CORRECT ANSWERS-Neurovascular assessment
- P: Palliative, Q: Quality, R: Region, S: Scale, T: Time - CORRECT ANSWERS-Pain assessment
- The great toe shifts laterally, and the first metatarsal head of the great toe enlarges
- Pain especially when shoes are worn
- Treatment: custom made shoes or surgery - CORRECT ANSWERS-Bunions (hallux valgus)
- Perform passive ROM exercises for patients who are immobile
- Turn and reposition every 2 hours
- Assess for skin redness - CORRECT ANSWERS-Priority assessments for immobile patients
- A continuous ringing or noise perception in the ears. - CORRECT ANSWERS-Tinnitus
Also called farsightedness. Occurs when the eye does not refract light enough. As a result, images
actually converge behind the retina. Distant vision is normal, but near vision is poor. - CORRECT
ANSWERS-Hyperopia
