Abstract
The methods used to assess edema, an excessive amount of fluid in the body tissues, are varied. This descriptive, exploratory study used a researcher developed questionnaire to determine the assessment methods used by registered nurses providing bedside care in small to moderate sized Western Pennsylvania hospitals. The information obtained will be utilized to encourage the establishment of nursing protocols for edema assessment in medical care facilities in order to achieve consistency and accuracy in assessment of edema.
