fractured right femur

[namita]

Hello everyone,

as usual i need help with my care plan. I always have problem in writing or wording r/t factors in nursing diagnoses because English is not my first language.

My patient is 81 yr old female with a right hip(femur) fracture with bruises on right hip. she also has swelling, ecchymosis, and pain in right wrist. although hipfracture has been diagnosed in X-ray but she was suppose to go for x-ray of wrist that afternoon and i don't know the results. she seemed to be confused and wanted to get out of bed and walk and then I had to remind her of her condition and risk for fall. she was drowsy and after responding used to go back to sleep. she had foley catheter due to urge incontinence . she also has a medication Detrol for urge incontinence.

Quest. If it was not in her medical history so can I assume it was due to trauma?

while I was helping her feeding she said " as helpless as a baby". has SCD and ted hose in her left leg. she had 5 lbs buck's traction in right leg. she only felt pain during movement like when turning her to to place a pillow under hip. rated pain as 4/10 intermittent in right hip.

Nursing diagnoses: 3 physiological
