The nurse should be concerned about the Compartment syndrome which requires emergency measures.

When adjacent bones are separated from the joint, their normal use is disturbed and their shape is distorted.

Trauma can disrupt the local blood supply to structures such as articular cartilage, causing degeneration, chronic pain, and limited movement.

Compartment syndrome is a condition in which structures such as tendons and nerves are compressed in an enclosed space. Fractures of the humerus can also be displaced, but are not the result of a circulatory disorder.

Muscle cramps can occur around the fracture site but do not cause circulation problems.

The humerus is the shoulder bone located between the elbow and shoulder. Its main function is to support shoulder and various arm movements.

A practitioner order is for a continuous infusion of insulin
julsineya [31]

A practitioner order is for a continuous infusion of insulin by using insulin pump therapy.

<h3>What is insulin?</h3>

Insulin is a type of hormone that is secreted by the islets of langerhans in the pancreas. it is used mainly for the metabolism of glucose in the body.

A continuous infusion of insulin can be prescribed by a practitioner to a patient suffering from type 1 diabetes.

The insulin pump therapy is used for this purpose because it mimics a physiological way of delivering the insulin into the body.

What do you view as important issues within healthcare<br> delivery?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The answer to the question: What do you view as important issues within healthcare delivery, would be: the availability of more and better resources to ensure that all patients are treated with efficiency and effectiveness, depending on their individual needs, and the possibility to have more, and better-prepared office staff, like secretaries and receptionists, so that healthcare providers can focus entirely on patient care, and not on the mountains of paperwork, phone calls and documentation that insurance companies require to authorize a simple procedure that would improve a patient´s life.

Explanation:

Although there are a lot more issues that need to be addressed regarding patient care delivery, these two have proven to become real obstacles. First, although some hospitals and clinics are blessed with resources, this is not always the case, especially for public hospitals. The result of this is that patients at public hospitals are not always given the best care that could be given to them due to lack of resources and this lowers the efficiency of healthcare. The second issue is that healthcare professionals are becoming encumbered more and more with the amount of paperwork and documentation that is demanded by insurance companies simply to authorize the payment of a procedure. This also limits the effectiveness of treatment, as healthcare professionals do not have access to all the resources that are available to ensure the best treatment. This is why, to me, these two are some of the most important issues to face right now.
