Clinical assessment revealed the wound was a stage IV pressure ulcer, due primarily to her limited mobility and incontinence of bowel. Upon admission, the wound measured 5.5cm x 8cm, and was 2cm deep, with undermining of 1cm laterally along one complete edge. Approximately 60% of the wound surface was covered with hard, necrotic tissue, and 25% was covered with yellow slough. Drainage from the wound was heavy, dark and thick, with a foul odor."

The ulcers were draining heavily and were very painful. The patient suffers from senile dementia, peripheral vascular disease and cellulitis, but otherwise is quite healthy. A number of treatment modalities, including compression therapy, and alginate, foam, hydrogel and wet-to-dry dressings were used over the ensuing two months without significant results. Consultations with Vascular and Plastic Surgeons confirmed that the patient had no arterial insufficiencies and was not a candidate for skin grafting. Amputation was the recommended course of action."

Within two weeks, the amputation incision became necrotic. The patient's history included congestive heart failure, long term diabetes and kidney disease. Previous vascular related surgeries included coronary artery bypass, and an amputation of a toe on the left foot. The patient's vascular surgeon was certain that a right BKA was most likely the only resolution for this patient."

She has a history of recurrent pressure ulcers and the most recent to develop is a stage IV of the right hip. This bedbound patient lives in a single family home with her older sister as primary caregiver. Due to CS’s level of care and her sister’s poor health, skilled nursing and home health aide services are being delivered. The patient is alert and able to express her needs even though she is essentially non-verbal. She leaves no doubt that she insists that she be positioned on the affected side. CS is not a candidate for tube feeding as per family wishes. Additionally, the patient is on "comfort measures" and as such, may not be transported from the home for any type of evaluation or treatment."

After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses." Nurses Station P.O. Box 388 Centerbrook, CT 06409-03881 http://www.nursefriendly.com/station/ Nursing In The Media, truthaboutnursing.org ER:"Media products under your influence, particularly the NBC/Warner drama "ER," are harming the profession of 2.7 million American nurses by giving the public an inaccurate and inadequate account of what nurses really do to save and improve lives. Research suggests that "ER" strongly and negatively influences the way children view nursing. These products contribute to the nursing shortage, a public health crisis that threatens millions worldwide." http://www.truthaboutnursing.org/letters/er/ House, MD:"The main patient in tonight's episode of Fox's House was a nurse who believed that a cat tended to sit with those who were about to die--including, recently, the nurse herself. That may not sound like a promising vehicle for House to improve its abysmal portrayal of nursing. But the show actually presents the nurse as someone with health knowledge. And her search for meaning in faith, for some reason in tragic events, is a real counterpoint to House's cold rationality. Indeed, despite the obvious potential for mockery in the cat angle, the mighty House treats the nurse with considerable respect--he seems to care what she thinks, or at least to find her views unnerving. Of course, the nurse plays no real clinical role in the episode, and no other nurses do either. So the episode suggests, as usual, that physicians provide all important care in hospital settings, including all meaningful psychosocial and physical care. Still, any suggestion that intelligent life resides in a nurse is a welcome departure for House (and for the episode's writer Peter Blake, who also penned a November 2005 House episode that was notable for its physician glorification and its casual contempt for other health professions). Tonight's episode, "Here Kitty," drew 13.1 million U.S. viewers. more... see the relevant film clips... and please join our letter writing campaign!" http://www.truthaboutnursing.org/letters/house/ Private Practice:"ABC's Private Practice, whose season ends tomorrow, April 30, may be the only broadcast network show with a major nurse character to return next season. In the February 5 episode (Mike Ostrowski's "Acceptance," 13 million U.S. viewers), lone nurse character Dell Parker, who is studying to be a midwife, shows some tentative clinical aptitude and knowledge to go with his boyish eagerness. Under the close supervision of OB/GYN Addison Montgomery, Dell ably performs a vacuum-assisted delivery. Later he haltingly guides the baby's parents toward breastfeeding. Dell also performs an assured solo ultrasound of pregnant psychiatrist Violet Turner, calming her panic attack and eliciting her agreement to his own suggestion that, though he's "not a doctor," he will likely become a "pretty good midwife." The show still condescends to Dell, who is also the office manager/receptionist at the LA clinic where the show is set. In the March 26 episode (Craig Turk's "Do the Right Thing," 10.1 million U.S. viewers)," http://www.truthaboutnursing.org/letters/pp/ "Scrubs" defines nursing:""Scrubs" defines nursing: it's all about shutting up and following physician "orders. " Tonight's episode of NBC's "Scrubs," which purports to teach nurse Carla Espinosa that nursing is all about doing what physicians tell you, is one of the most virulently anti-nurse prime time television episodes the Center has ever seen. more..." http://www.truthaboutnursing.org/news/2009/may/06_scrubs.html To subscribe to our: Nurse Friendly Notes Newsletter: Send a blank e-mail to: nursefriendlynotes-subscribe@topica.com http://www.nursefriendly.com Nursing Jokes, Medical Humor, Jokes to make you laugh and smile all day.
