What the orthopedic and rehabilitation nursing nurse checks

  • Neurovascular checks and compartment syndrome
  • VTE prophylaxis
  • Fall prevention during mobilization
  • Post-operative infection recognition

What the review examines

  • Fall risk assessments (such as the Morse Fall Scale) on admission and after changes
  • Precautions ordered and actually in place: alarms, low bed, assistance, toileting schedule
  • Sedating medications and recent changes
  • Supervision, rounding and call-light response
  • Post-fall assessment, neuro checks and imaging, especially with anticoagulation
  • Notification of the provider and family and the post-fall huddle
  • For nursing homes: the care plan and federal requirements on accidents and supervision (F689)

Proposals come from license-verified orthopedic and rehabilitation nursing nurses, with their fee and turnaround.
