The NAON recommended that patients and their families should be provided with education about pin site care before discharge and that this should be supported by the provision of written instructions (Holmes ei a/2005). Information should be available in written, oral and visual formats and should be consistent (Lee-Smith et al 2001 ). In terms of risk, if it is considered that the patient and/or carer is not able to achieve the required competency to care for the pin site, then healthcare professionals with particular responsibility for pin site care should liaise with community nurses to maintain consistency and provide support (Lee-Smith et al 2001 ). Nursing accountability Medical staff often indicate their preference for carrying out pin site care. Healthcare professionals may include the pin site care regimen in the patient's notes.
