Chapter 10, The Nursing Profession and the Community
A charge nurse in a nursing home is planning to transfer an 87-year-old resident who fell and fractured their hip to the hospital. This resident has a history of congestive heart failure, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis but had been ambulatory using a cane and cognitively intact before the fall. What concerns should be addressed before the transfer occurs? What are the issues that will be of concern during the transfer? What information will the receiving nursing unit need in order to provide effective care?
