Hello everyone! I'm hoping that some of you can help me.
I am in my last leg of the BScN program...I have finished shift 16 of my 42 shift preceptorship! And I have 2 papers to do as well. We choose the topics, and I was wondering if any of you could help me with one I have chosen...
I need to get information on types of Pain Management one would use with a patient who has a broken bone. I am on a surgical unit that takes care of a lot of broken bones....I had a patient who fell of a roof and broke his shin bone. He really needed something for pain. What can we as nurses do to help someone like that? And post-op as well? And what kind of pain medications do you find work the best for bone pain? I have heard from the nurses at the hospital I'm preceptoring at say that Tylenol #3 work well. Any extra help that you great people can give me would be apprecaiated! Thanks so much...
Amanda :)
