    The nursing process effectively addressed post-operative tape blisters by identifying the cause and implementing a new tape. This intervention successfully eliminated further occurrences of these common surgical site injuries.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Wound Care
    • Surgical Site Infections

    Background:

    • Tape blisters are a common complication following hip surgery.
    • Existing treatment protocols were insufficient to prevent recurring tape blisters.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and implement a standard treatment protocol for tape blisters using the nursing process.
    • To identify the cause of tape blisters and implement a preventative solution.

    Main Methods:

    • The nursing process (assess, plan, implement, evaluate) was utilized to develop a protocol.
    • Five different stretch tapes were evaluated based on handling, application, and adhesion.
    • A preferred tape was selected and implemented into routine practice.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • The implementation of a new stretch tape eliminated post-operative tape blisters.
    • The nursing process provided a structured approach to problem-solving and intervention.

    Conclusions:

    • The nursing process is an effective framework for addressing clinical challenges like tape blisters.
    • Selecting appropriate medical supplies, such as stretch tape, can prevent adverse patient outcomes.
