Description
Self-management interventions after total knee surgery are essential for complete patient recovery and a return to independence. By educating patients on warning signs and symptoms, patients can be prevented from experiencing complications and even re- hospitalization. Stoplight tools are the key to success in patient education after total knee surgery.
The Stoplight Tools are based on the Zones of Management principles. Green indicates good control, yellow indicates caution and gives specific steps for action, and red indicates a medical crisis that requires calling 911.
This Total Knee Stoplight Tool is based on the recommended standards of post-operative knee care. Help your patient achieve independence more quickly with this important self-management education. This tool can be customized with your agency’s name and contact information. Available in English and Spanish. 50 sheets per pad
