Lymphatic

The lymph nodes and lymphatic drainage. Routed here: lymph-node assessment (cervical, axillary, inguinal), lymphedema, lymphangitis, post-mastectomy and post-node-dissection limb care, and compression therapy. Cellulitis of the skin is shared with Integumentary; the distinction between venous and lymphatic edema is shared with Peripheral Vascular; the oncologic and hematologic context is shared with Hematologic; oncology coordination and coping are shared with Psychosocial.

How to use this module

This module supplies the lymph-node and lymphedema assessment and the skilled management of at-risk limbs after mastectomy or node dissection — with the skilled language that proves the care took a licensed nurse. Cellulitis is documented in Integumentary; the venous-versus-lymphatic edema distinction in Peripheral Vascular. Each narrative is a structured example to edit to the actual visit and the patient’s orders — not a phrase to copy.
