Problem

You work as a nurse at a college's student health center. A student presents to the health center after a very busy final exam schedule and end of semester paper writing session. She is a varsity basketball player and is having issues with grabbing the ball. In the past, she has had episodes where she "jammed" a finger playing basketball, but this has not occurred recently. She is complaining of severe wrist pain and numbness in her fingers. Describe the priority assessment process that you would follow when you examine her hands. What is the expected care for a possible carpel tunnel disorder and how would you prioritize nursing interventions? Get the instant assignment help. A patient with a history of profound deafness, poor nutritional habits, and a significantly increased body mass index is status post total knee arthroplasty. The patient lives on the second floor of an apartment building. Develop an interprofessional plan of care that addresses the patient's care needs, both during hospitalization and upon discharge.
