Nursing

Initial Discussion Post: 

 An 87 year old female is admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of a hip fracture secondary to a fall in her home.

 What clinical manifestations would you expect to see when assessing this patient?  

What would be three nursing management considerations for this patient pre-operatively? 

 What would be three nursing management considerations post-surgical repair?  What would your neurovascular assessment of the lower extremity include? 

 Are there any positioning considerations, if so what are they?
