SCENARIO: Japhet, 22 year-old male, was rushed by an ambulance due to a motor vehicle accident. Upon entering the ER, you as a nurse, saw his bleeding right arm splinted and heavily bandaged by the first aiders. He is screaming in pain and is on a 10/10 pain scale. The Resident on Duty ordered an Xray of the Right Forearm which revealed an open fracture of the right arm needing to be surgically reduced. ORIF is then scheduled tomorrow at 8AM. DISCUSSION: RESEARCH ON HOW ORIF IS DONE. KNOW THE INSTRUMENTS USED ON THE SAID OPERATION. ACTIVITY: Using the Nurses’ Notes file that you were given last semester, make a COMPREHENSIVE CHARTING on the above scenario. Your Charting should cover phases 1 and 2 of endorsements (Ward Nurse to OR Nurse and OR Nurse to PACU Nurse)
