    Oana Maria Grigore
    Mrs. Beryl Casey, born 21 November 1941, is being discharged into the care of the Rehabilitation Centre following hip replacement surgery and a fall. She had surgery on 4 February 2014 to repair a fractured left hip and received blood transfusions and IV antibiotics post-operatively. Her blood pressure was low due to her blood pressure medication so the dose was decreased. She is currently taking pain medication and uses a frame to walk short distances. The Rehabilitation Centre is asked to continue her medication, check her blood levels and blood pressure twice daily for three days, and ensure she wears anti-embolic stockings for 14 more days. A rehabilitation therapy evaluation is also recommended and her staples can be removed on day 10

    Nursing Unit Manager

    The Rehabilitation Centre


    Waterford

    11.02.2014

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    Re: Beryl Casey, D.O.B.:21.11.1941

    This is to refer discharge Mrs Casey, who is recovering from hip replacement surgery followed by
    following/after a fall, into your care for further management. She is set to be transferred today.

    On 4.02.2014, Mrs Casey was admitted to the hospital with a fractured left neck femur and had an
    immediate hemiarthroplasty intervention. After the surgery, she had IV therapy with three units of
    packed cells with IV furosemide after each unit. Additionally, IV Cephazolin was commenced. Because
    she used to take 10 mg of Ramipril Post-operatively, her blood pressure was significantly low, so her
    regular dose of Ramipril was decreased to 5 mg. To ease her pain, Fentanyl was prescribed at first and
    after that, Panadol or Panadeine has been prescribed with a maximum dose of four tablets per day. Her
    wound was protected by dressings, draining tubes were inserted for two days, staples were used, and
    anti-embolic stockings were given. Please note, she uses a pick-up frame to get out of bed and walk
    short distances. Pillows and anti-embolic stockings were used.

    In view of the above, it would be greatly appreciated if you could continue Mrs Casey’s care by making
    sure she takes her medication and wears the stockings for another 14 days. Please re-check her Hb
    levels and her BP twice a day for three days. Help Evaluation from a rehab therapist is also
    recommended. Lastly, the remaining staples can be removed on day 10, and the wound can remain
    exposed afterwards. If you require any information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

    Yours faithfully,

    Registered Nurse
