#3 As a nurse, you are getting ready to welcome a new patient to your unit who has just had surgery. The patient, a 71-year-old male with a broken femur, underwent surgery to correct the injury. You find out about his medical history from the post-anesthesia recovery unit, which includes COPD, 40 pack-years of smoking, and hypertension. Although his surgical repair was successful, the heavy bleeding made things difficult, therefore he is now taking IV fluids to make up for it. His three children are dispersed throughout the country, and he is widowed. He hires a cleaning service to keep his home clean, receives Meals on Wheels, and lives alone. 1. What general outcomes would you expect to establish from this information?
