Post by: nurse2mrow on Sep 16, 2014
Because the patient has a compound fracture, the nurse should:
1.   limit narcotics for 8 hours after surgery.
2.   monitor the patient’s respirations every hour.
3.   assess for pulses distal to the injury.
4.   verify that the patient is not allergic to sulfa.


This is for my medical nursing class
