sprain

ligamentous structures surrounding a joint, usually caused by a wmotion.

wrist ankle

17
New cards

strain

excessive stretching of a muscle, a muscleā€™s fascial sheath, or a tendon

foot leg

RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation)

20
New cards

dislocation

severe injury of the ligamentous structures around a joint that results in the complete displacement of the bone from its normal position,overwhelming force to the joint, disruption of soft tissue

21

24
New cards

open/close fracture

?Open-skin broken and bone and soft tissue exposea

Closed-skin intact

25
New cards

compleete/incomplete fracutre

Complete-break is completely through bone ?

lncomplete-bone is still in one piece but break occurs across the bone shaft

26
New cards

displaced/non displaced

Displaced-two ends separated from one another

Nondisplaced-bone is aligned and periosteum is intact

27
New cards

fracture ss

Deformity

Edema and ecchymoses

Musclespasm

Tenderness and pain ?

Loss of function

Numbness, tingling, loss of distal pulses

Grating (crepitus),shortening

Open wound over injured site, exposure of bone

decrease cap refill

28
New cards

intital tx of fracture

lnitial treatment

Life-threatening injuries first

Ensure airway, breathing, and circulation.

Control external bleeding with direct pressure or sterile pressure dressings and elevation of extremity.

Splint joints above and below fracture sites.

Check neuro-vascular status distal to injury before and after

ice

donot manipulate or striaght

xray

tetenus prophylaxis

l

29
New cards

ongoing assessment

vs

loc

sat

neuro vascular

peripheral vascular assessment (colour, temperature, capillary refill, peripheral pulses, and edema)

and a peripheral neurological assessment (sensation, motor function, and pain)

30
New cards

nurtiion intake for fracture ot

-energy:promote muscle strength,ambulation

diet requirement

protein

mineral

vitamin

fluid 2-3l

31
New cards

rx for fracture

ļ¶ Moderate to severe pain i.e., opioid analgesics

ļ¶ Pain r/t muscle spasms i.e., NSAIDs

ļ¶ Pain r/t nerve injury i.e., pregabalin (Lyrica)

32
New cards

clsoed reduction

Nonsurgical, manual realignment of bone fragments to previous anatomical position

Traction and countertraction manually applied to bone fragments to restore position, length, and alignmentļ¼Œmaintain immobilized

33
New cards

opemn reduction

through incision internal fixation

but infection,and ansthesai effect

able to early ROM

34
New cards

traction

Application of a pulling force to an injured or diseased part of body or extremity, while countertraction pulls in opposite direction

35
New cards

purpose of traction

Prevent or reduce muscle spasm

plmmobilize joint or part of body p

Reduce a fracture or dislocation

Treat a pathological joint condition

provide immobilization to prevent soft tissue damage.

reduce muscle spasm associated with low back pain or cervical whiplash.

?expand a joint space before major joint reconstruction.

36
New cards

skin traction

Used for short-term treatment until skeletal traction or surgery is possible

Tape, boots, or splints applied directly to skin to maintain alignment, assist in reduction, and help diminish muscle spasms in injured extremity

37
New cards

skeletal traction

ln place for longer periods

Used to align injured bones and joints or to treat joint contractures and congenital hip dysplasia Provides a long-term pull that keeps injured bones and joints aligned

insert wire

38
New cards

countertraction

Countertraction commonly supplied by clients body weight or augmented by elevating end of bed lmperative that nurse maintains traction constantly and does not interrupt weight applied to traction

39
New cards

cast

Temporary circumferential immobilization device

Allows client to perform ADL

]Restricts tendon and ligament movement

Assisting with joint stabilization while fracture heals

40
New cards

externqal fixation

Metallic device

Applies traction or compresses fracture fragments

lmmobilizes decreased fragments when cast or other traction is not appropriate

41
New cards

cast do

Apply ice directly over fracture site for first 24 hours.

Check before getting wet.

Dry cast after exposure to water.

]Elevate extremity above level of heart for first 48 hours.

Move joints above and below cast regularly.

]Keep appointment to have fracture and cast checked.

42
New cards

cast dont

Get plaster cast wet.

Remove any padding

lnsert any objects inside cast.

]Bear weight on new cast for 48 hours.

?]Not all casts are weight bearing.

?]Cover cast with plastic for prolonged periods

regular neuro vascular

result from restrictive dsg, cast, traction-decrease size

r/t bledding, edema, snake bite, IVF-increase size

Paresthesia: numbness and tingling

Pain: distal to injury that is not relieved by opioid analgesics ,on passive stretch of muscle travelling through compartment

Pressure: increase in compartment

Palor: coolness and loss of normal colour of extremity

Paralysis

Pulselessness: diminished/absent peripheral pulses
