Excerpt from Orthopedic Surgery for Nurses
The chief asset of a trained nurse is to possess a thorough knowledge of the principles and practice of nursing; but, in addition, she should understand enough about medical and surgical subjects to make her own work comprehensive and give intelligent advice to inquiring friends and patients. In this latter connection it is important that a nurse should understand something about Orthopedic Surgery.
A knowledge of how to recognize orthopedic deformities at an early stage; the danger that exists in not recognizing them; the possibilities of cure; and the sad results of lack of proper treatment would be of advantage to all parents and individuals interested in children, and such knowledge should be expected of all trained nurses.
The object of "Orthopedic Surgery for Nurses" is not so much to supply nurses with a text-book, in the sense of a medical student's text-book, as to give them a book which will discuss clearly and simply the recognition, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of the more common and important orthopedic deformities. In order to elucidate and emphasize the text many free-hand outline illustrations have been added.
I wish to express my thanks to Mrs. Ralph B. Post. formerly Supervising Nurse at the Albany Hospital, for her criticism of the work, and to Dr. William P. Howard for the free hand illustrations.
