Nursing Bullets
Below are the nursing bullets for Medical-Surgical Nursing.
1. Bone scan is done by injecting radioisotope per IV and then x-rays are taken.
2. To prevent edema on the site of sprain, apply cold compress on the area for the first 24
hours.
3. To turn the client after lumbar Laminectomy, use the logrolling technique.
4. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs due to the injury of median nerve.
5. Massaging the back of the head is specifically important for the client with Crutchfield
tong.
6. A one-year-old child has a fracture of the left femur. He is placed in Bryant’s traction.
The reason for elevation of his both legs at 90º angle is his weight isn’t adequate to
provide sufficient countertraction, so his entire body must be used.
7. Swing-through crutch gait is done by advancing both crutches together and the client
moves both legs past the level of the crutches.
8. The appropriate nursing measure to prevent displacement of the prosthesis after a right
total hip replacement for arthritis is to place the patient in the position of right leg
abducted.
9. Pain on non-use of joints, subcutaneous nodules and elevated ESR are characteristic
manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis.
10. Teaching program of a patient with SLE should include emphasis on walking in shaded
area.
