Dudut Tanjung, Nafi Yannis, Edianto Edianto, Dina Afriani — Wed, 01 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Avascular Necrosis (ANV) is a pathological condition caused by impaired blood supply to the subchondral femur bone, causing necrosis and deformity of bone tissue. This condition causes severe pain, joint stiffness, and impaired physical mobility. Chronic avascular necrosis requires surgery to stabilize physical function. Total Hip Replacement surgery is one of the surgical options to relieve pain and restore joint function in patients with avascular necrosis. Nursing care for ANV patients is very important in managing pain, preventing complications, and promoting recovery. Through comprehensive nursing care, nurses have a significant impact on the physical and emotional health of patients, helping them live healthier and more functional lives. This article aims to implement nursing care for avascular necrosis patients undergoing surgery at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan. This study is a case report of a 63-year-old patient who had suffered from avascular necrosis for 10 years and underwent Total Hip Replacement surgery. Assessment data were collected through physical examination and supplemented with laboratory and radiology results. The postoperative diagnoses that are the priority in this patient are acute pain, impaired physical mobility, impaired skin integrity, and self-care deficit. Nurses focus on the criteria for treatment outcomes in reducing pain levels, increasing joint range of motion and physical mobility, improving skin integrity, and improving self-care. The intervention results are pain control that allows earlier mobilization and can be a reference for professional nurses in improving the quality of service, especially for avascular necrosis patients undergoing Total Hip Replacement (THR) surgery.

Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever is a disease caused by the dengue virus due to the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Patients will go through 3 phases of this disease: fever, critical, and recovery. A complication that often occurs in the critical phase is dengue shock syndrome. This case report aimed to provide an overview of nursing care for patients in the critical phase of dengue hemorrhagic fever at a private hospital in West Jakarta. Care was provided by Diploma III nursing students for 4 days using a nursing process approach that includes assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Data was collected using interview techniques, observation, and physical and diagnostic examinations. The assessment showed that the patient was in a grade II critical phase, characterized by the appearance of petechiae on both superior extremities without a tourniquet test. The nursing problems raised were the risk of hypovolemia, the risk of bleeding, acute pain, and nausea. The interventions provided focus on preventing bleeding and fluid management. The implementation includes providing appropriate fluid resuscitation, monitoring blood hematology laboratories, and encouraging patients to rest in bed to reduce the risk of other bleeding. On the fourth day of treatment, three nursing problems were solved: the risk of bleeding, acute pain and nausea. The nursing problem that was partially resolved is the risk of hypovolemia. In conclusion, in dengue hemorrhagic patients in the critical phase, nurses need to pay primary attention to the possibility of hypovolemia even though it is not necessarily an actual problem.
