Recommendation

(Evaluation)

What do you think should be done to help your patient

This is a summary of your shift’s observations that could assist the next shift in planning  care for the patient

 

Discharge Plan

·         Rest. Limit patient mobility, until right leg can bear weight. Eventual use of CAM boot when ambulating.

·         Place an ice pack on right lower limb in 20 minute increments 6-8 times/day

·         Elevate leg on pillows to help with swelling.

·         Compression. Continue with ACE bandage and splint on right leg for support and to ease swelling.

·         Continue with incentive spirometer 5-10 times every 2 hours. SBAR Template

·         Have patient wiggle toes on right foot often to promote blood flow.

·         Continue with physical therapy to learn how to safely ambulate using walker/crutches due to NWB status of right leg.

·         ROM exercises for unaffected joints of the body.

·         Consult with Social Services and Case Manager. Possible transfer to skilled nursing facility for rehab due to patient’s living situation SBAR Template.
