IMPLEMENTATION OF NURSING CARE IN PROVIDING ANALGESIC THERAPY TO REDUCE PAIN LEVELS IN FRACTURE PATIENTS

Abstract

Fracture is a condition where the continuity of bone and/or cartilage tissue is broken, which is generally caused by force. The purpose of this study was to identify analgesic therapy in reducing pain in fracture patients. The research method used is a literature review with a nursing care process approach. The results showed that severe pain was a finding in the nursing assessment of fracture patients so that analgesic administration in the form of ketorolac was most often used in reducing the patient's pain scale. Therefore, it is recommended to produce the effectiveness of ketorolac analgesics as a pain reliever in postoperative fracture patients, it should be given before the operation is stopped (completed) at a dose of 60 mg / iv.
