This article described the nursing experience of a pregnant woman with lower extremity fracture and anxiety caused by inpatient surgery and drugs use in the second-trimester of pregnancy. The nursing period was from November 27 to December 7, 2012. The Roys adaptation model was applied to collect data through observations, interviews, and physical examinations. The nursing problems were identified as follows: acute pain, impaired physical mobility, and anxiety. The nursing interventions included a detailed explanation of drug effects, side effects and safety, educating this patient to elevate the fracture extremity, to listen to favorite music, learn relaxation techniques, abdominal breathing, and meditation. The intervention effectively improved acute pain and anxiety. Additionally, we helped this patient to perform rehabilitation exercise to enhance muscle strength and range of motion, so that she could recover her physical mobility. This nursing experience provides information for nurses when caring pregnant women with the similar situations. |
