Patient Name: J.C.J. Age: 73 Sex: Female CS: Widowed Medical Diagnosis: Fracture closed complete displaced intertrochanteric right femur Attending Physician: Dr. Boyles I. Chief Complaint/ Other Complaints Right Hip Pain Swelling on the right thigh

II. Nursing History Few hours prior to consultation patient was walking on a street near their house when after crushing by a passing vehicle she stepped on uneven ground, lost a balance and fall with her right hip. III. Pathophysiology (pathophysiological events) and Explanation

Fall

Injury to intertrochanteric right femur

Tissue swelling, bruising or hematoma mass at site of injury

Restricted or loss of function of affected part

Increase diameter of thigh

Hypertension (occasionally seen as a response to acute pain/anxiety)

Tachycardia (stress response)

Fatigue, weakness (e.g. affected extremity or generalized)

Gait and/ or mobility problems

Fracture closed complete displaced intertrochanteric right femur

The combination of increased fragility of bone and a traumatic event such as a motor vehicle accident or fall may result in either a direct impact or generation of a torsional force transmitted through the leg to the intertrochanteric area. When such forces are greater than the strength of the bone in the intertrochanteric area, a fracture occurs. An intertrochanteric hip fracture occurs lower than a femoral neck fracture. Intertrochanteric hip fractures have a different treatment because they do not have the issues with damage to blood flow to bone seen with the femoral neck fractures. Because the bone blood flow is usually intact, these fractures can usually be repaired, and do not require the hip replacement procedure.

IV. Laboratory/ Diagnostic Result, Interpretation and Nursing Implication

Procedure/ Date Indications Normal Values/ Findings Hemoglobin Actual Findings and Interpretation Nursing Responsibilities Pre: 90 (indicates anemia, bone marrow problems, blood loss due to accidents/injuries) Hematocrit 0.37-0.52 0.28 (indicates anemia, bleeding, destruction of RBC) WBC 4.5-11 x 10^9/L 10.32 (indicates infection, inflammation or tissue injuries) Segmenters 0.40-0.74 0.77 (indicates infection/ inflammation) Lymphocytes 0.19-0.48 0.11 (indicates infection) Eosinophils 0.01-0.02 0.06 (indicates infection) Monocytes 0.03-0.09 Platelet count 150-450x10^9/L 266 0.06 Post: Dispose the needle properly Send the specimen to the laboratory after doing the procedure Check the doctors order Prepare the cleaned needed equipments

Hematology
(4-22-13)

Used to evaluate anemia, leukemia, reaction to inflammation and infections, peripheral blood cellular characters, state of hydration and dehydration, polycythemia, haemolytic disease of the newborn, to manage chemotheraphy decisions

120-160 g/L

Intra: Explain all the procedures to the patient and its purpose Clean the site for extraction of blood with cotton soaked in alcohol and then dry Assist the patient while doing the procedure

V. Medications and Treatment

BN/GN Dosage/ Frequency/ Route 50 mg/tab O.D. Oral Indication/CI S/E and AR Nursing Responsibilities

Cozaar (Losartan)

Treatment of hypertension alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents

Headache, dizziness, syncope, insomnia, Hypotension, Rash, urticaria, pruritus, alopecia, dry skin, Diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, constipation, dry mouth, URI symptoms, cough, sinus disorders, Cancer in preclinical studies, back pain, fever, gout, muscle weakness

-Administer without regard to meals. -Alert surgeon and mark patient's chart with notice that losartan is being taken. The blockage of the reninangiotensin system following surgery can produce problems. Hypotension may be reversed with volume expansion. -Monitor patient closely in any situation that may lead to a decrease in blood pressure secondary to reduction in fluid volume-excessive perspiration, dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea--excessive hypotension can occur.

BN/GN

Dosage/ Frequency/ Route 500 mg/tab B.I.D. Oral

Indication/CI

S/E and AR

Nursing Responsibilities

Ceftin (Cefuroxime)

Treatment of Upper and Lower Respiratory Tract Infections and Skin Infections

Headache, dizziness, lethargy, paresthesias, Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, abdominal pain, flatulence, liver toxicity, Nephrotoxicity, bone marrow depression, decreased WBC, decreased platelets, decreased Hct, serum sickness reaction, pain

-Culture infection, arrange for sensitivity tests before and during therapy if expected response is not seen. -Give oral drug with food to decrease GI upset and enhance absorption. -Have vitamin K available in

case hypoprothrombinemia occurs. -Discontinue if hypersensitivity reaction occurs.

BN/GN

Dosage/ Frequency/ Route 25 mg/tab O.D. Oral

Indication/CI

S/E and AR

Nursing Responsibilities

Capoten (Captopril)

Treatment of hypertension

Tachycardia, angina pectoris, MI, CHF, hypotension in salt/volume depleted patients, Rash, pruritus, scalded mouth sensation, photosensitivity, alopecia, Gastric irritation, aphthous ulcers, peptic ulcers, hepatocellular injury, anorexia, constipation, proteinuria, polyuria, oliguria, urinary frequency, neutropenia, agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia, pancytopenia, cough, malaise, dry mouth, lymphadenopathy

-Administer 1 hr before or 2 hr after meals. -Alert surgeon and mark patient's chart with notice that captopril is being taken; the angiotensin II formation subsequent to compensatory renin release during surgery will be blocked; hypotension may be reversed with volume expansion. -Monitor patient closely for fall in BP secondary to reduction in fluid volume (excessive perspiration and dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea); excessive hypotension may occur. -Reduce dosage in patients with impaired renal function.

BN/GN

Dosage/ Frequency/ Route 10 mg/tab O.D. A.C. Oral

Indication/CI

S/E and AR

Nursing Responsibilities

Norvasc (Amlodipine Besylate)

Treatment of: -Chronic stable angina, alone or in combination with other agents -Essential hypertension alone or in combination with other antihypertensives

Dizziness, light-headedness, headache, asthenia, fatigue, lethargy, peripheral edema, arrhythmias, flushing, rash, nausea, abdominal discomfort

-Monitor patient carefully (BP, cardiac rhythm, and output) while adjusting drug to therapeutic dose -Monitor BP very carefully if patient is also on nitrates. -Monitor cardiac rhythm regularly during stabilization of dosage and periodically during long-term therapy. -Administer drug without regard to meals.
