5 Ps in Assessment Prior and Post Surgery

[mismatchedgrl]

I'm doing this case study and it asks what are the five ps that should guide the assessment of M.Cs right leg before and after surgery

Any help?

We learned polyokio for skin temp-I like polar better. Could never remember the word and don't even think I spelled it right! Definitely a good thing to know!

Maisy ?

Poikilothermy: (paraphrased from Taber's) the condition of having something assume the same temperature as the environment - ie ambient temperature.

Reminds me of when people say they "don't have a temperature" - everybody has a temperature, even if it's ambient! (generally a bad finding).

Try to have fun out there!
