Scenerio

What would you suspect the pt to complain about if they had a fracture/ dislocation? What would you see? Would there be a difference in how they move their limbs with a fracture?

Hello Nurses

Hi! (From one of us.)

I have a scenario, give me an answer.

What?! No foreplay?

I found Mrs A on the floor near her bed in her room fallen down, she is lying on her back in a straight lying position.

It's always good to get straight A's, isn't it?

She complains of lower back pain, I need to assess hee for fracture or dislocation before moving her.

Yes. First assess her "hee" and then assess her "haw".

What are definitive signs and symptoms of a fracture and a dislocation in this scenario?

Wait a minute- what do I get if I give the right answer?

I checked her neurovitals, results are normal.

Heck, if neurological checks are normal, call a rapid response, she'll be placed on a backboard, taken to radiology, and the radiologist will determine if she has a fracture!

Oh-BTW: Welcome to AN.com, Raj!

Well Davey

If you can successfully do the "hee & haw"

You could successfully drive a mule team, as that is the most important commands to give a mule.....

Speaking of mules, I heard tale that Mrs. A's hubby is one big A!

(You know, Sally, I really expected a lot more from you than this, with your initials of "rrt"!)

It's early and I'm only on my second cup of coffee."

OP: You got.permission to post your homework here from.your instructor, right?

Also, happy you thought to jump in the internet immediately after performing neurovitals to get the expert advice of random.strangers! Good critical thinking there..

To ans this student question,

Observe leg length, and any internal rotation....

You can gental raise one leg up 15 degrees and if that gives a pain response, could. Be lower back pathology...

But that technically be out of scope of practice, especially if you don't know what you are doing....

sallyrnrrt, ADN, RN · May 26, 2018

Davey, you do realize my RRT, does not associate rapid response team, but is reg.respiratory therapist....

early lumber jacks used mule teams to trans port and roll logs in the forest,

thus is Davey had his hee and haw, together, he would " log roll the patient to back board, so. She could be safely transported for ER, radiology etc.....

weather he he bought the mule in, well "film at news"

sallyrnrrt, ADN, RN · May 26, 2018

Wait a , min. Eye witness new, reporting at the scene......

Since Davey was responsive with the " hee and haw"..... the question is?

Wait for it.......

Is Davey the "mule?"
