Question

Due to a fall from a second story townhouse, Jimmy sustained a fractured left femur and a mild head injury. Jimmy is 10 years old. He was reaching for a ball that had gotten lodged into the gutter over the small balcony of his parent's bedroom. He thought if he stood on the railing and reached with the badminton racket he could get it. Currently, he is 2 days postoperative from repair of the left femur. He is being transferred out of the pediatric ICU where the Neurologist has stated he is stable but needs continued neuro checks q2 hours. He has a full left leg cast. The Foley catheter is to be replaced today, or he can attempt to roll onto a bedpan if needed.

**Please add the interdisciplinary team that needs to attend to this boy's health care needs. Plan home care if appropriate and the list of nursing diagnoses.
