Nursing diagnoses with interventions
Nursing diagnoses with interventions
During the night, Molly was found on the floor by her bed. A head-to-toe assessment revealed a large hematoma on her right parietal area, contusions on her right elbow, and that her right leg is shorter than her left and is externally rotated. X-rays show a fractured right hip. Molly is ordered a surgical consult.
Answer the following questions:
- What steps should the nurse follow when reporting an incident such as this?
- What pre-and post-operative care would the nurse expect to give this patient?
- What are three nursing diagnoses with three interventions and rationales that would need to be added to the care plan?
