83
Q

According to the study by Heuts, what were the findings on fear of physical activity and functional deadline?

people with higher levels of pain-related fear will be less likely to participate in a physically active lifestyle

if you decreased (improved) FABQ by 2.5-3.0 point, you were more likely to be a responder to tx.

84
Q

A

70s - admitted 1-2 days before surgery, bed rest 2-3 days post op, ambulation with knee splint begun POD3, Knee ROM began POD7, no d/c until flex knee to 90 degrees

86
Q

What are the red flags to monitor for after TKA?

A

DVT, PE, infection

87
Q

What are the s/s of infection?

A

persistent fever, shaking chills, increasing redness/tenderness/swelling of knee wound, drainage from knee wound, increasing knee pain with activity AND rest

A

Criteria:
Active cancer, paralysis/paresis/recent plaster immobilization LE, surgery <4weeks/bedridden > 3 days, thigh + calf swelling, tenderness along deep venous system, affected calf > 3 cm larger than other calf, pitting edema, collateral superficial veins
High probability = 3 or more points (each worth 1 pt each)

89
