As a result of a motor vehicle accident, a patient has fractures of the right wrist, right tibia, and two ribs. What are five nursing diagnoses
that might be priorities in the first 3 days of hospitalization and the
rationale for each one?

The five nursing diagnoses that might be priorities in the first 3 days for a patients with fractured bones (right wrist,right tibia and two ribs) which occurred in a car accident include:

1. X-ray examination: This is to determine the location and the extent of the fracture in the patient.

2. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans: For the visualization of fractures, bleeding, and soft-tissue damage in the patient.

3. Complete blood count (CBC): To determine if there is any significant hemorrhage at the fracture site or at distant organs in multiple trauma.

4. Urine creatinine (Cr) clearance: To determine the load of Cr for renal clearance which is caused by muscle trauma. And lastly,

5. Coagulation profile: To determine if there is any alteration in the patient's body due to blood loss, multiple transfusions, or liver injury.

tell their parents and make sure she gets from a counselor or therapist. be supportive and be there for her. be a kind and good friend. spend time with her to make her feel like she's not alone. i'm not a professional but i really hope they stays strong.

i think it's the first one because doctors aren't the ones who get rid of the old needles. most of them time it's not even doctors who give you shots, it's nurses.
