Document the essential elements of proper body alignment for Edith Jacobson and include the specific supplies that would be needed
Transcribed Image Text:Patient Introduction
Location: Orthopedic unit 1555
SBAR report from day shift nurse:
Situation: Mrs. Jacobson is an 85-year-old white female who was admitted last evening after falling and fracturing her
hip, X-rays have been taken and show left intertrochanteric hip fracture. Mrs. Jacobson is scheduled for surgery
tomorrow.
Background: Mrs. Jacobson has a 10-year history of osteoporosis, and her daughter reports that recently Mrs. Jacobson
has been having dizzy spells.
Assessment: Mrs. Jacobson's vital signs are stable. Her pain is under control with morphine every 4 hours, and I
medicated her at 1400. Her pain level was 2 after the morphine. The skin is intact; color and sensation around the hip
area are within normal limits. A Morse Fall Scale assessment was completed on admission, and her score was 45. Fall
precautions were implemented.
Recommendation: You will need to reposition Mrs. Jacobson as she needs to be turned every 2 hours. You should perform
a focused musculoskeletal assessment, reinforce safety, and provide patient education on fall risk. Assess her pain level
and medicate for pain if needed.
