Analysis of Nursing Records of Three Scottish Folds with Osteochondrodysplasia Treated by Radiotherapy

Abstract

The nursing records of three Scottish Folds with bone cartilage dysplasia were examined for the purpose of reducing the pain and symptoms caused by the disease. The cats had been hospitalized and received radiation therapy in the University Medical Center. We made a flow diagram of medical and nursing events for each cat. Consequently, we clarified that they had five nursing problems in common. The items described in detail were ‘treatment’, ‘nutrition’, and ‘records written on the days of radiation’.
