Q

Diagnostics
Biopsy
Swab culture/sensitivity - organism - antibiotics effective
X-Ray - tissue involvement/MRI
Elevated WBC, ESR, C-reactive protein
Treatment:
Pain control - VERY PAINFUL
PICC line - take awhile for infection to go away; long course antibiotics
IV antibiotics 3-6 wks - not leave pt in hospital; home with PICC line; home health and know how care for it
Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) - pressurized O2 3x atmospheric levels: more O2 available for blood stream - heal faster and completely; anaerobic bacteria causing infection not like infection so kill off those (digestive tract often)
Surgical debridement - get rid dead tissue attached - higher risk infection
Surgical reconstruction - if possible consider for pt
Avoid loss of limb - treating infection and goal for this; bones deep internal structures and lot vascularity which can spread infection and high risk for sepsis on these pts - if bone to blood stream

History and Physical
Story from what happened
Patient reports
acute onset of signs and symptoms (e.g., localized pain, edema, erythema, fever) or recurrent drainage of an infected sinus with associated pain, assess for edema/erythmia, and low-grade fever.
Drainage - culture and send off esp if nasty
Assesses patient for risk factors
Acute pain related to inflammation and edema - NSAIDS; prob require opioids (morphine/diluadid)
Impaired physical mobility related to pain, use of immobilization devices, and weight-bearing limitations - no weight bearing or cannot weight bearing; teach immobility devices
Risk for infection: bone abscess formation - worried about spreading or abscess forming causing recurring infection
Deficient knowledge related to the treatment regimen - teaching about PICC line, IV antibiotics; adminstering them in home - home health - lots edu

Adequate Knowledge of treatment regimen - know expect and when seek help if not going like supposed to
Transition care-home
Monitor skin and neurovascular status - check pulses
Gentle manipulation of limb - move pt - will hurt; make sure not grabbing hold and treat gently
Pain meds as prescribed
Elevate limb as much possible/non-weight bearing
Monitor:
Response to antibiotics - s/s of infections; temp
good IV access - PICC line patent and correctly located
Secondary infection (candida - yeast - heavy antibiotics secondary organisms can take over)

Q

Hypovolemia - from shock; crushed - circulating fluid volume depleted - bleeding out or internally bleeding
Hyperkalemia - renal failure huge possibility; when muscles get crushed release K - too high tall peaked T waves on EKG - not excess K in timely fashion and progress to v-tach - fatal arrhythmia
Acute tubular necrosis /Renal failure (myoglobinuric)
Rhabdomyolysis (myoglobin from muscle in circulation) - common with crush injuries; striated muscle that dies due to crush injury get myoglobin protein released into systemic circ - kidneys work really hard to process proteins - excess protein - can lead to acute tubular necrosis and renal failure
Muscle weakness and pain - lactic acid also present rhabdomyolysis and creating pain

Swelling inside a limb - swelling so much that compresses
Internal or external causes
Compression of muscle, nerves and blood vessels-ischemia- tissue infarction/death in 4-12 hours - intervene before tissue death
Commonly in lower leg and forearm
S/S: Edema, pain, paresthesia (numbness, tingling, pins and needles), pale, pulseless, cool to touch (poikilothermia)
Not corrected Necrosis/high risk for infection/not resolved causes loss of function or limb/life - HCPs attention quickly - get VS first

Nursing - Acute compartment syndrome

27
Q

Urate crystal deposits in the joints and other body tissues causes inflammation.
Primary - most common type; errors in purine metabolism; purine: product of protein breakdown and end product uric acid; normally uric acid excreted by kidneys; primary: not excrete uric acid in same level as those without gout; Males more likely to get than females - females most likely after menopause
Secondary - too much uric acid produced in bloodstream

A

Pathophysiology - Gout

28
Q

Renal insufficiency - kidney issue
Diuretic therapy
Some Chemotherapy
Older adults - postmenopausal women; peak for men 40-50 yrs
CV problems - vascular component: PVD, DM - affected small blood vessels
Obesity
Postmenopausal women

A

Risk factors - Gout

29
Q

Asymptomatic hyperuricemia - may be unaware of it until experiencing symp
Client usually unaware
Higher than normal levels uric acid in blood stream
Elevated uric acid levels
No treatment - lifestyle changes; not detected at this point of time
Acute gouty arthritis - seek treatment
Pain and inflammation - terrible pain - no weight on affected pain
Podagra – pain in great toe; big toe most common area where pain manifests itself
Chronic/tophaceous gout -
Chronic - Repeated gout attacks
Tophaceous - not in US; if not compliant with med regimen
Urate kidney stone formation; uric acid crystals lodge self in small vessels where start see them through skin - small fessels and fingers and toes - also in organs so higher risk for kidney stones

A

Stages - Gout

30
Q

Joint pain - LOT PAIN; pain rated high
Joint inflammation - swollen
Hyperuricemia - high uric acid levels
Uric Acid levels - high
Elevated BUN (10-20 mg/dL)
Elevated Creatinine (0.6-1.3) mg/dL)

31
Q

Medications
Indomethacin
Works in about 12 hours
Ibuprofen
Other NSAIDS can be used as well
Work quickly
Decreases inflammation - reduces pain
Allopurinol
Great med - reduces uric acid level in body; not work quickly; be on qday; goal reduce chances further attacks in future; maintenance med

A

Treatment - Gout

32
Q

Strict low-purine diet - purines break down into urice acid so avoid as much as possible: avoid red meats, pork, shellfish, organ meats (liver), sweet breads, grain-based liquids
Teach client fad diets may cause attack- eat nothing but one sort of food for extended period of time
Avoid Aspirin - acetylcyclic acid; want reduce acidity level for pts
Avoid Diuretics
Stress reduction - spurred by stressful events
Assess for kidney stones

A

N. interventions - Gout

33
Q

Impaired physical mobility r/t musculoskeletal impairment - not put weight on affected extremity
Chronic Pain r/t inflammation of affect joint
Readiness for enhanced Knowledge: expresses an interest in learning - educating pt on med adherence and ways reduce future attacks

A

Nursing Diagnosis - Gout

34
Q

Bone is both destroyed and reconstructed at a rapid pace. This causes bone fragility
Bones break down and remodeled over time - for these pts happens quick pace; bone rebuilt not same quality over bone slow pace that people who don’t have this

A

Pathophysiology - Paget’s disease of the bone

35
Q

Increased age greater than 40
Genetic predisposition
Men greater than women - attached to X chromosome since boys have one and girls have 2

A

Risk Factors - Paget’s disease of the bone

36
Q

Broken bones - main one; larger bones affected in gen
Hearing loss - skull affected risk for this
Pinched nerves - as bones develop and not usual shape nerves can be pinched; get paresthesias and pain with that

A

Clinical Manifestations - Paget’s disease of the bone

37
Q

Larger bones
Pelvis
Skull
Spine
Leg

A

What bones are generally affected? - Paget’s disease of the bone

38
Q

X-ray
Bowing of bones
Bones forming irregular shapes
Bone scans
Shows open bones fragments
Increased alkaline phosphatase in labs
alkaline phosphatase - goes with liver; phosphorus and Ca have inverse relationship; extra phosphate shows active disease in bloodstream
Shows active disease

A

Diagnosis - Paget’s disease of the bone

39
Q

Medications - not curative; help slow do down progression of the disease for the pt
Alendronate - most frequently given
Ibandronate
Pamidronate
Risedronate
Zoledronic acid
Surgery
Help fractures heal in a way that more conducive for movement for pts
Joint replacements possibility if bone structures in hips/knees where grown where joint articulation is painful may need to replace whole joint
Bone realignment
Relieve pressure on nerves - pinched nerves

Risk for Trauma
Risk for Injury - weak, brittle bones
Fear - when going to break again

A

Nursing Diagnosis - Paget’s disease of the bone

41
Q

Prevent falls – provide safe passage; not fall
Promote activity - strengthen bones; weight-bearing activity; do so in safe manner
Dietary plan – Calcium and Vit. D; adequate stores of both; breakdown bones and build-up bones go through lot Ca
Educate client on disease process

A

Nursing Interventions - Paget’s disease of the bone

42
Q

Peripheral vascular disease
Diabetes
Infection
Malignant tumor
Traumatic - car accident

A

Amputation may be congenital or traumatic or caused by conditions such as - Amputation

43
Q

Amputation is used to relieve symptoms, improve function, and improve quality of life
Can be diff: Health care team needs to communicate a positive attitude about this as much as possible to facilitate acceptance and participation in rehabilitation; put in place of pt; losing functionality can be devastating for pt - why necessary; get them participate in rehab
Goal – preserve as much functional length as possible
Regain more normal function -prosthesis - if possible; and help Improve quality of life
Amputation-leg either above (AKA/transfemoral) or below knee (BKA/transtibial) – most common amputation surgery

A

Amputation

44
Q

Hemorrhage - result in blood loss
Infection - incision site for redness, purulent drainage
Phantom limb pain - amputated limb still hurts; nerves once attached still sending pain signals through NS and still hurting; aching, tingling, itching; gen fades over time; do treat pain
Flexion contracture
Loss of strength
Assess: perfusion edema, good pulses, color adequate, temp, monitor suture/incision line, monitor for edema,
Wound heals 4-8 weeks - varies
Control Pain control
Phantom limb pain – absent limb pain; some hesitant to report but let them know is norm
Alternative methods: imaging
Treat PAIN
No pillows under stump/residual limb (contractures - scar tissue developing that limits ROM)
Overhead trapeze to help with mobility with LE amputation; exercises
Pt out of bed 12 – 24 hours after surgery - up ASAP

A

Complications and nursing - post amputation and post-surg - Amputation

45
Q

PT and/or OT
Psychological support - assess support sys; not understand how must feel; will have grieving process; get in support groups for those who have experienced the same or sim feelings r/t amputations very beneficial
Prostheses appropriate fitting and educated on how to use
Physical therapy
Vocational or occupational training and counseling
Use a multidisciplinary team approach - all professions to care for pts
Patient teaching - LOTS EDU

A

Rehab - Amputation

46
Q

Acute pain
Impaired skin integrity
Disturbed body image
Grieving
Self-care deficit
Impaired physical mobility
Major goals include:
Most likely long-term goals; not really short0term
Relief of pain - phantom limb pain
Absence of altered sensory perceptions
Wound healing
Acceptance of altered body image - takes a while
Resolution of grieving processes
Restoration of physical mobility
Absence of complications

A

N. diagnosis/goals - Amputation

47
Q

Relief of pain
Administer analgesic or other medications as prescribed
Changing position frequently
Putting a light sand bag on residual limb
Alternative methods of pain relief: distraction, TENS unit
Promoting wound healing
Handle limb gently - will be sore and in pain
Residual limb shaping - brace helps with this
Resolving Grief/Enhancing Body Image
Do with what can to help with this - does take time; ok that going through grieving process and norm for situation
Encourage communication and expression of feelings
Accepting, supportive atmosphere
Provide support and listen (VERY THERAPEUTIC TO LISTEN)
Encourage patient to look at, feel, and care for the residual limb - coping mechanism not want acknowledge it
Help patient set realistic goals
Help Resume self-care and independence
Referral to counselors/support groups can be beneficial to pts

A

N. interventions - Amputation

48
Q

Limb shaping brace helpful
Proper positioning of limb; avoid abduction for pts - goal: keep contractures from forming so appropriate ROM, external rotation and flexion
Turn frequently; prone positioning if possible
Use of assistive devices - get trained how use appropriately
ROM exercises
Muscle strengthening exercises
“Preprosthetic care”: involves proper bandaging to help with shaping of them and also get toughening/calloused to where pat can put on prosthesis and not have any blisters as a result, massage, and “toughening” of the residual limb

A

N. interventions: achieving phys mobility - Amputation

49
Q

Encourage active participation in care - as independent as possible; gradually increase overtime
Continue support in rehabilitation facility or at home
Focus on safety and mobility

A

N. interventions: self-care home - Amputation

50
Q

Contusion - bruise
Trauma resulting in bleeding and brusing to lung tissue; bruising in lungs
Frequently caused by/Common - rapid deceleration - car accident - steering wheel and not wearing a seatbelt

A

Pulmonary contusion - Musculoskeletal - chest trauma

51
Q

Immediate
Over time - time to develop

A

Risk for Respiratory failure - Pulmonary contusion - Musculoskeletal - chest trauma

52
Q

Between alveoli - in and around alveoli - vessels around alveoli where gas exchange occurs and if those vessels surrounded by fluid gas exchange cannot occur and no gas exchange no O2 to blood stream

A

Blood and edema - Pulmonary contusion - Musculoskeletal - chest trauma

53
Q

Crackles
Wheezes - potential - narrowing airway
Cough
Tachycardia
Tachypnea
Dullness to percussion - excess fluid from contusions/bruises in lung

A

Clinical manifestations - Pulmonary contusion - Musculoskeletal - chest trauma

54
Q

Early – CXR negative; bleeding in and around alveoli not happened or actively happening may not see it present
Late – CXR hazy opacity over affected area; day or two later - see this; more white and gray - more opaque; see blood leak and edema in lungs

A

Diagnosis - Pulmonary contusion - Musculoskeletal - chest trauma

55
Q

Need to ensure to Maintain airway and monitor breathing - assistance as needed
Maintain IV fluids - losing fluid where having fluid volume deficit need fluid support; trauma pt tend get lot fluids
Moderate-Fowler’s position - trouble breathing sit up - not tolerate high up
BiPAP (positive airway pressure) or PEEP (positive and expiratory pressure) - help keep alveoli open - alveoli surrounded in fluid collapse which not do job effectively and so extra airway pressure help stay open

A

Nursing implications - Pulmonary contusion - Musculoskeletal - chest trauma

56
Q

Impaired gas exchange - need alveoli to do their job

A

Nursing Diagnosis - Pulmonary contusion - Musculoskeletal - chest trauma

57
Q

Condition can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
Not corrected or happens anyway despite best try

A

Outcome - Pulmonary contusion - Musculoskeletal - chest trauma

58
Q

Common – direct blunt trauma to chest
If not drive further into check care supportive; given adequate pain med - avoid meds that suppress resp drive (morphine, dilaudid) - lidocaine, xylocaine, pivocaine - splint area and not take deep breaths - want them to take deep breaths so adequately oxygenated and not get pneumonia
Simple rib fractures - no splinting; take easy; deep breathing exercises; manage pain until ribs repair self
Rib fracutre driven into chest and lungs - pulm contusion, pneumothorax, hemothorax
Bone ends are driven into chest
Risk for pulmonary contusion, pneumothorax (collapsed lung), hemothorax (blood put pressure on lung where not able to expand full)
Pain causes client to splint which causes decreased lung volume - not want take deep break
Deeper injury equals poorer prognosis

A

Rib fracture - Musculoskeletal - chest trauma

59
Q

Assist with gas exchange
Treat pain, but avoid medications that suppress the respiratory drive than more have
Assess for pneumothorax (hallmark sym for bad one: tracheal deviation - lung collapsed and air in chest cavity putting pressure on lungs where not able expand like should and go towards one side and trachea shifts away from midline; most often use chest tubes insertion to relieve for pt), hemothorax (most often use chest tubes insertion to relieve for pt), respiratory failure

A

Nursing implications - Rib fracture - Musculoskeletal - chest trauma

60
Q

Impaired gas exchange
Pain

A

Nursing Diagnosis - Rib fracture - Musculoskeletal - chest trauma

61
Q

Neighboring rib fractures occurring and rib fracture in more than one location on same rib causing paradoxical chest wall movement; results in free floating portion of the chest wall
Common – blunt chest trauma
Look for other injuries because flail chest requires a great deal of force to happen
Common after fall in elderly pts; typ car accidents
Common after ACLS - CPR on pts; can happen in bone actually separates from cartilage get odd chest wall movement
Most time pts go to surgery - intubated and on ventilator and fractures stabilized

A

Flail chest - Musculoskeletal - chest trauma

62
Q

Paradoxical chest movement - HALLMARK; section of chest with broken bones move opp direction should; causes imbalance whenever breathing and increases work breathing and lungs unable to expand fully; reduces total SA lungs able to expand reducing oxygenation for pt
Dyspnea
Cyanosis - been awhile since initial trauma
Tachycardia
Hypotension
SOA
Anxiety
Pain

A

Manifestations - Flail chest - Musculoskeletal - chest trauma

63
Q

Pain management - rib fractures hurt esp if lot of them
Oxygen - getting adequate oxygen and frequently end up on ventilator
Lung expansion
Expanding fully
Ventilator - positive airway pressure for full expansion
Remind them to do deep breathing exercises and have good positioning for pts
Deep breathing
Positioning
Respiratory assessment
Mechanical ventilation - PEEP - keep lungs inflated
Frequent ABG’s on pts; monitor acid-base balance and pO2 levels
Surgery only in extreme cases - big enough trauma to fracture multiple ribs are severe enough

A

Nursing Interventions - Flail chest - Musculoskeletal - chest trauma

64
Q

Impaired gas exchange
Pain
Impaired communication - particularly for pts on ventilator

A

Nursing Diagnosis - Flail chest - Musculoskeletal - chest trauma
