Dear nurses, 

New information and links have been added below.

In the image above, Mrs.M sustained a fracture of
the neck of the femur. An ORIF ( open reduction
internal fixation) was done in the Operating Room.

Above, an example of MD orders is shown. An 
abductor pillow to prevent internal rotation has
been put in place. 

The patient who is confined to bed is at risk for
skin breakdown, DVT and pneumonia. This should
be reflected in the plan of care.

therapy. They are the ones who become very
depressed or anxious and lose the ability to cope.

Examples are: the patient with OCD or Schizophrenia,
postpartum depression and more.
