Adult Patients’ Experiences of Closed Reduction Treatment for Distal Radius Fracture in the Emergency Department ‐ A Qualitative Descriptive Study
Effective pain management, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological, as well as comprehensive, clear communication, is crucial in the initial treatment phase of distal radius fracture. Acknowledging patients' broader concerns can enhance the quality of care and support improved recovery outcomes. These findings imply that future emergency nursing practice should prioritize swift and effective pain management, clear and empathetic communication, and a holistic approach to patient care to optimize recovery outcomes.
