The method of splinting is always dictated by:
The method of splinting is always dictated by the severity of the client's condition and the priority decision.
Basic Care and Comfort
The home health nurse has made a visit to an 85-year-old female client's home who has recently had surgery to replace her left knee. The client has been discharged from a rehab facility and has been able to walk on her own. The nurse assesses the need for teaching related to fall prevention. What should the nurse include in this teaching plan?
Rugs and clutter are a primary cause of falls in the home and should be eliminated if possible to decrease the risk of a fall. The elderly and those with gait issues are at an increased risk for a fall at home. The client should have a raised toilet seat and grab bars available in the bathroom to aid in movement in this potential slippery area of the home. Some clients find it difficult to rise up and down from the toilet and to get in and out of the shower. These items are all important in maintaining safety in the home. The client should not limit her movement within the home unless ordered by the physician. This decreases the ability of the client to perform activities of daily living and hinders the client's return to a normal lifestyle after surgery. The client should notwear baggy clothing such as long robes, and the client should not wear socks on slippery floors. These items can cause the client to trip, slip, or fall.Health Promotion and Maintenance
A client has been diagnosed with Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) and transferred to the medical intensive care unit (ICU) subsequent to an acute bleeding episode. In the ICU, continuous Heparin drip therapy is initiated. Which of the following assessment findings indicates a positive response to Heparin therapy?
Effective Heparin therapy should stop the process of intravascular coagulation and result in increased
availability of fibrinogen. Heparin administration interferes with thrombin-induced conversion of fibrinogen to
fibrin. Bleeding should cease due to the increased availability of platelets and coagulation factors.Physiological
Adaptation
An elderly client denies that abuse is occurring. Which of the following factors could be a barrier for the client to admit being a victim?
Barriers to reporting elder abuse include victim shame, fear of reprisals, fear of loss of caregiver, and lack of
knowledge of agencies that provide services. Many elders fear that reporting abuse results in their placement in
long-term care because the current caregiver is the abuser. Choices 1 and 3 are incorrect. Choice 2 might be true
but is not the best choice.Psychosocial Integrity
