During admission all patients were having fracture, skin abrasion, and potential for pressure sore and one patient had profuse fracture bleeding and resulting hypovolemia, temperature irregularities. After using standardized tool for assessment and planned nursing care to the patients their recovery process was satisfactory. At the time of discharge or end of study the patient's major symptoms got relieved or alleviated and they and their relatives were satisfied with the care provided.

Total numbers of 100 primary school children were selected to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching program regarding road safety measures, the level of knowledge regarding road safety measures before and after structured teaching program and also to study the association between socio demographic variables and level of knowledge in experimental and control group.
In pretest, 2% of children had inadequate knowledge, 98% had moderately adequate and none of had adequate knowledge. In posttest, none of had inadequate knowledge, 4% had moderately adequate and 96% had adequate knowledge for experimental group. Same like for control group in pretest, 18% of children had inadequate knowledge, 82% had moderately adequate and none of had adequate knowledge .In posttest 4% of children had inadequate knowledge, 94% had moderately adequate and 2%had adequate knowledge. This indicates that experimental group has more knowledge than the control group after administration of structured teaching program The result shows that the structured program was highly effective as the P value is 0.000 and the unpaired T value is 15.73. The mean difference of the experimental group (14.2) is higher than the mean difference of the control group (3.48).
