Total Hip

$4.95

Description

Total hip surgery is common among older adults. But there are many potential complications that can hinder a patient’s full recovery and even result in a re-hospitalization. By giving total hip patient’s the knowledge they need to self-manage their conditions, complications such as dislocation, blood clots and infection can be prevented.

Low literacy tools, such as Stoplight tools can help patients understand how to recognize the symptoms of dislocation, infection, and blood clots and when to seek emergency care. Stoplight tools divide various signs and symptoms into green, yellow, and red management zones. Green indicates good control, yellow indicates caution and gives specific steps for action, and red indicates a medical crisis that requires calling 911.

This Total Hip Stoplight Tool is based on the recommended standards of post-operative hip care. Help your patient achieve independence more quickly with this important self-management education. This tool can be customized with your agency’s name and contact information. Available in English and Spanish. 50 sheets per pad
