Yes Louis, I was talking about the priority Nursing Intervention for that case. Knowledge deficit, potential for ineffective tissue perfusion or pain would be the Nanda Diagnosis but I would still have to state what the priority nursing interventions would be for that patient??? That's where I'm a little confused of what is priority....

Hi All, I have a case study to do which states: "A young college student arrives in the emergency department holding his arm close to his body. His wrist is obviously misshapen, but swelling is minimal. He tells you he was playing basketball with friends an hit the gym wall after running toward the goal for a lay-up shot. He complains of pain with attempted flexion or rotation of the wrist. A radiograph confirms a wrist fracture, and cast application is planned." The question I have is: What intervention should receive priority? I believe it's Immobilization???? but my med-surge book has one paragraph on wrist fractures which explains nothing, CAN ANYONE HELP, PLEASE

Hello All, I have a case I am working on and need a little help. The pt had a motorcycle accident and is unresponsive. His CT results show: Head - left skull fracture, left sudural hematoma, bilateral intraventricular and subarachnoid hemorrhage and cerebral edema. Abdomen/Pelvis: lacerated liver, multiple infarcts to right kidney, fluid around duodenum and pancreas, and multiple left pelvic fractures. What could be the cause of his hypoxia, hypotension and tachycardia? Thank you so much for any help.................
