Patient Summary:
Patient is an 82 year old female with end stage degenerative joint disease of the right knee. All previous non-surgical
modalities failed to provide any significant benefit. The patient complained of persistent pain that was constant. Her
pain limited performing activities of daily living and weight bearing and walking worsened the pains intensity. X rays
were taken showed evidence of degeneration. On 10/28/14 the patient was admitted with vitals of 98.2, 72, 18, 216/86
and a right knee arthroplasty and full knee replacement was performed. There was no complications were noted post
procedure and diagnostics showed positive signs of bone degeneration and ruled out any other diagnosis. Current
concerns are possible infection related to an elevated temp. of 100 and lab abnormalities. Physician progress notes order
full weight bearing with the assistance of a walker.

Evaluation (AEB):

NSG DX: Impaired physical mobility R/T surgical procedure, discomfort,

pain AEB limited ability to ambulate or move in bed, limited ROM, inability
to perform action as desired
Pt. Goals (AEB): Patient performs physical activity within limitations of
prescribed mobility restrictions. Patient demonstrated use of adaptive
techniques that promote ambulation and transferring.
Support Data: Reports of a pain level of 8 that is worsened with
movement, limited ROM, decreased muscle strength
Nursing Interventions:
1. Assess the patients fear and anxiety about transferring or
ambulating, their level of understanding of postoperative
restrictions, and the postoperative ROM and compare with
preoperative statuses.
2. Assist and encourage the patient to perform quad sets, gluteal
sets, and ROM to both legs.

Pathophysiology/ Textbook Overview

Degenerative Joint Disease (DVD) :

Pathophysiology: The progressive degeneration of articular cartilage in synovial joints. This leads to the inability of
the cartilage to withstand the normal weight bearing stress in the joint.

Causes: Primary DVD is idiopathic and secondary DVD is usually a result of joint trauma or repetitive joint injury.

Symptoms to assess for: pain, stiffness, and functional impairment

Diagnostic lab and tests: X rays show narrowing of joint space and osteophytes (spurs) at the joint margins and on the
subchondral bone.

Medications: Acetaminophen and NSAIDs; COX-2 enzyme blockers; opioids and intra-articular corticosteroids; and
topical analgesics.

Medical Treatment:
o
Conservative measures-Height and weight reduction, joint rest, orthotic devices (splints, braces), isometric and
postural, and aerobic exercises , and occupational and physical therapy.
o
Surgery-osteotomy and joint arthroplasty
:Knee arthroplasty

Pathophysiology: The replacement of deteriorated femoral, tibial, and patellar articular surfaces with
prosthetic metal and plastic components. The prosthetic devices are held in place through the use of
cement or the device is porous, which is secured by bio-ingrowth.

Causes: Treatment for advanced osteoarthritis in older adults and rheumatoid arthritis in young and older
patients.

Symptoms to assess for: pain and limited mobility

Diagnostic lab and tests

Medications

Medical Treatment: hospitalization is usually required for about 5 days after the procedure followed by
rehabilitation and recovery from 6 weeks to 3 months.
HTN :

Pathophysiology: defined as a systolic BP>140 mmHg and a diastolic BP>90 mmHg.

Causes: Can result from increases in CO

Symptoms to assess for

Diagnostic lab and tests

st

Medications: diuretic agents and beta blockers are 1 line medications

Medical Treatment: Lifestyle modifications such as weight reduction, reduced alcohol and Na+ intake, and regular
physical exercise are encouraged.
