Nursing diagnoses with interventions

Nursing diagnoses with interventions

During the night, Molly was found on the floor by her bed. A head-to-toe assessment revealed a large hematoma on her right parietal area, contusions on her right elbow, and that her right leg is shorter than her left and is externally rotated. X-rays show a fractured right hip. Molly is ordered a surgical consult.

Answer the following questions:

• What steps should the nurse follow when reporting an incident such as this?
• What pre-and post-operative care would the nurse expect to give this patient?
• What are three nursing diagnoses with three interventions and rationales that would need to be added to the care plan?
