2) how visitors can help the patient to develop an awareness of the right side of the body.
NURSING NEEDS OF STROKE PATIENT:
FOCUS ON MOBILITY
The impact of a stroke, or cerebrovascular accident on a person’s ability to communicate and on their mobility can be profound. Since recovery can take up to a year, the nurse in the hospital may not see much improvement initially. However, early interventions can set the tone for ongoing progress. Once the patient has stabilized, usually after the first 72 hours, the emphasis of care is rehabilitation and support for the patient’s adaptation to the current disability.
To plan care, the nurse must carefully assess sensory, perceptual, cognitive and motor deficits and strengths of the patient. Also essential is to assess the emotional state following this crisis and family or social supports. We will focus on one aspect of the care plan.
Immobility. Hemiparesis is common in certain types of strokes. The patient is unable to feel one side of his body and, as a result, will need help with positioning in order to maintain proper body position. Proper body position will require pillows or blanket rolls to support the affected limbs and to protect and minimize joint strain. One risk of immobility is contractures. A nursing intervention to prevent this from occurring is passive and active range of motion exercises. Putting the joints on the affected side through gentle exercises will maintain the range through which the joint can move. Teach and encourage the patient to initiate similar exercises on the unaffected side. This will get him involved in self-care activities from the beginning of his recoveryA. These exercises should be done four to five times a day.
Since the patient with hemiparesis cannot safely move himself, it is essential to turn the patient every two hours. This helps prevent decubiti, contractures and pulmonary complications. Getting the patient up to a chair® as soon as possible will also help to decrease the risk of these complications. Most patients are able to tolerate sitting in a chair for short periods three days after the stroke occurs.
Since the patients with left sided hemiparesis cannot feel their left side and often lacks awareness of his left side in general, he is at risk for injury. The patient will also not notice heat applied to the injured side or any other injury. Should he try to move on his ownc, he may fall. How can the nurse help with this hemiparesis? Encourage the patient to scan the left side of his environment, to turn his head and look at that side of the room or his meal tray. Often, the patient will only eat that food on the tray on his unaffected side. Place items such as his toothbrush on the right side of his bed table to encourage him to reach in that direction with his left hand. Suggest to the patient’s visitors that they sit on his left side so that he will develop an awareness of that side of his body, even if he cannot feel it. These interventions will help the patient to reintegrate his right side back into his body awareness.
Notes:
A this will get him involved in self-care activities from the beginning of his recovery — это будет способствовать тому, что он с самого начала восстановительного периода будет учиться самостоятельно ухаживать за собой
8 getting the patient up to a chair — зд. \ усаживать больного на стул
с should he try to move on his own — если он попытается сделать какое-либо движение самостоятельно...
