This comprehensive text provides practical access to the physical, sociocultural, and physiological aspects of orthopedic nursing care, emphasizing up-to-date care for patients of all ages. It recognizes the interrelated care given by different health care team members as well as the transitional settings in which health care is delivered. In-depth pathophysiology and management modalities bring a practice-oriented perspective to the material covered. The first section of the book presents the fundamental knowledge essential to caring for orthopedic patients with various diagnoses. The second section examines specific orthopedic disorders categorized by physiologic processes. Throughout, new content has been added on evidence based practice and outpatient care. Two new chapters cover genetics and wellness, and a new appendix addresses computer use for patient and staff education. In addition, Internet resources are included at the end of each chapter. Nationally respected editors and contributors lend their expertise to this book. Clinical pathways are included for major orthopedic conditions such as prehospital, hospital, and outpatient phases of care. A lifespan approach offers complete coverage of pediatric, adult, and elderly patients. Care of orthopedic patients is addressed across the continuum of care, with an emphasis on community-based care, rehabilitation, and management of patients with chronic conditions. A consistent format for orthopedic conditions in Part 2 outlines the definition, incidence, epidemiology, pathophysiology, assessment, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment. NIC Intervention and NOC Outcome classification language is used throughout. A separate chapter on Ergonomics (Chapter 3) focuses on this important topic. A new chapter on Wellness (Chapter 1) focuses on complementary/alternative therapies, and these therapies are also integrated into subsequent chapters. A new chapter on Genetics (Chapter 7) provides up-to-date coverage of this topic. An appendix has been added on Computers as a Resource for Education, designed for staff and patients. Questions and supporting references throughout examine treatment and care options, emphasizing evidence-based practice. Internet resources at the end of each chapter and in the appendix refer the reader to sites for further information. Innovations and future trends are highlighted in all chapters with a focus on outpatient care. The relative cost of treatment options is addressed.
