Features: The book consists of 19 chapters, offering rich content and a broad scope. It focuses on clinical nursing, with management and teaching as supplementary elements, while integrating nursing research into clinical practice. The book also has distinctive features in its organization. For the nursing care of patients with various diseases, it covers an overview (definition, age of onset, incidence, etiology and pathogenesis, prognosis, etc.) → anatomy and physiology → nursing assessment → treatment principles → common nursing problems → nursing measures. It combines fundamental theory with clinical nursing, eliminating the need to consult multiple books. The nursing assessment is based on clinical thinking, highlighting specialty-specific features and focusing on the content that nurses can address and should prioritize. The nursing measures are categorized into non-surgical treatment and different stages such as preoperative, postoperative, and discharge, covering aspects like psychological care, diet, positioning, condition monitoring, symptom management, medication, and observation and handling of potential complications. For difficult-to-understand theories and skills, diagrams are used to illustrate them, along with explanations of their mechanisms. In summary, the authors aim to enable nurses to systematically master orthopedic nursing theory and skills through this book, enabling them to provide anticipatory care and achieve professional service standards.
