This assignment presents a clinical case study focusing on the nursing care of Mrs. Y, an 84-year-old patient admitted with a right hip fracture. The study details a nursing care plan developed for the next eight hours before surgery, addressing key nursing diagnoses such as pain, movement of bone fragments, and weakness. It emphasizes the prioritization of interventions, particularly immobilizing the fracture to prevent further complications. The plan includes specific nursing interventions like orthopedic bed placement, limb support with pillows, and pain management through medication. Evidence-based criteria, including critical thinking and patient feedback, are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the care provided. The case study highlights the importance of a patient-centered approach and the application of the clinical reasoning cycle to improve patient outcomes and satisfaction. The document also includes a literature review to support the nursing interventions and care plan.
