I have a pt 34 yr old female that has spinal cord compression due to spinal fracture & disk frags in her lumbar spine her cervical spine is free of injury. Please inform if I am wrong I have complications and problems associated with spinal cord shock as hypotension, bradycardia which she is I also listed constipation, DVT, pain and contractures, and altered skin integrity and also limited mobility in the lower extremities. what do you think?

I have a patient with a confirmed X-Ray of an intertrochanteric femoral fracture. The critical information that is need diagnstically and laboratory I would suspect that CBC's would be drawn for infections and WBC and RBC count but I'm not sure what else other than a possible MRI and CKMB considering that she takes BP med. Could anyone guide me on what else is needed or help me with this. Thanks

I understand this. However this is what I have come up with so far I think it is 1. pulse 2. pain 3. paresthesia 4. pallor 5. paralysis are these right? Thank you
