damage,muscle spasm and surgery.

Goal:Relief of pain.

Planning:

1)Monitor and documention of vital signs.

2)Asses pain level.

3)Asses presence of edema.

4)Positioning for comfort and function.

5)Administer prescribed medication.

Nursing Intervention:

1)Monitor and document vital sign such as blood pressure,tenperature,respiratory,

Pulse rate to detect any abnormalities to provide treatment and medication

according patient condition.

2)Asses type and location of patient’s pain whenever vital signs are obtained and as

Needed.Pain is expected after fracture,soft tissue damage and muscle spasm

Contribute discomfort,pain is subjective and is best evaluatedon a pale scale of

0 to 10 and through description of characteritics and location,which are important

For identifying cause of discomfort and for proposing interventions.

3)Assess edema and provide cold and heat application to reduce pain.Cold reduces

Pain,inflammation and muscle spasticity by decreasing the release of pain-

Inducing chemicals and slowing the conduction of pain impulses.Heat reduces

Pain through improved blood flow to the area and through reduction of reflexes.

Special attention need to be given to preventing burns with this intervention.

4)Alignment of body ficilitates comfort,positioning for function diminishes stress

Muscuoskeleta system.Change of position relieves preesure and asscociated

Discomfort.

5) Encourage patient to use pain medication such as nonnarcotic analgesic


(examples are:acetylsalicyclic acid (aspirin) and acetaminophen(Tylenol)),narcotics
(examples are:meperidine (Domerol) and Morphine and codeine) to relieve pain.

active foot exercises,walking and others.

4.Monitor patient nutritional intake for adequate energy sources and metabolic
requirements.The patient will need adequate intake of carbohydrates,
calcium,magnesium,fosforat ,minerals and vitamin to provide energy resources to
avoid fatigue.

5.Minimize environmental stimuli,expecialy during planned times for sleep to take


adequate rest with not any disturbend.

Evalution:Patient can participan in daily activity within tolerance.

Nursing diagnosis:Risk for infection related to surgical incision.

2.Perform asepsis dressing changes


3.Assess wound appearance

4.Assess report of pain

5.Administer prophylactic aneibiotik if prescribed and observe for side effects.

Intervention

1.Monitor vital signs because temperature,pulse and respiration increase in


response to infection.

2.Perform asepsis dressing changes to avoid infection.

3.Red,swollen,draining incision is indicative of indicative of infection.Special


therapeutic beds or mattress may be needed to prevent skin breakdown and to
promote wound healing after extensive surgical reconstruction.

4.Pain may due to wound,inflammation,swelling,and minimizes pressureon the
