FAQs

Why is surface anatomy important for nurses? Surface anatomy helps nurses locate internal structures using external landmarks, which is essential for procedures like injections and assessing vital signs.

How do I identify the deltoid injection site? Find the acromion process (bony tip of shoulder) and the midpoint of the lateral arm. The injection site is 2-3 finger-breadths below the acromion.

What nursing care is needed for a hip fracture? Keep the legs abducted, use pillows to prevent external rotation, monitor for complications like avascular necrosis, and assist with positioning and mobility.
